Art of the 20th Century received significant impulses from positions of  German artists. Especially in painting, artistic currents such as  Expressionism, Bauhaus, New Objectivity and Surrealism had a strong  impact on the Avant-garde before and shortly after the Second World War.  In Abstraction as well as in figurative art, these German movements  influenced various artistic positions in Europe and in the US. Also  after 1970, numerous German artists belonged - and remain - amongst the  most acclaimed international positions in Modern Art. In a certainly  subjective but cautiously selected display, Galerie Thomas presents –  not the comprehensive overview of a far richer art history – but an  accentuated display of distinctive representatives. The exhibition, with  partly large-sized works, features around 25 artists such as Anselm  Kiefer, Jörg Immendorff, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz,  A.R. Penck, Günther Förg, Katharina Grosse, Karl Horst Hödicke, Markus  Lüpertz, Neo Rauch and Rosemarie Trockel.
