Two new exhibits of German art open tomorrow at the UNC Ackland Museum.
One exhibit includes prints and drawings from 1840-1940. The list of artists is impressive:
This exhibition includes more than 75 prints and drawings by Adolf Menzel, Max Klinger, Käthe Kollwitz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Max Beckmann, and others.

The
second exhibit focuses on post WWII art with another impressive list of artists:
Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Hanne Darboven, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, and Martin Kippenberger. For these artists, representation, authenticity, and history are all fractured, problematic, and "de-natured." Their artworks—sometimes surprising, often challenging—established the international relevance and resonance of contemporary German art.
