The show

Extended until April 1, 2024

The exhibition is now open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until 7 p.m. The collection and THE GALLERY still close at 5 p.m., the Modigliani film cannot be seen after 5 p.m.

»Modigliani. Modern Views” looks at the work of Amedeo Modigliani from a European perspective. The exhibition embeds him in his cosmopolitan Parisian environment and at the same time shows for the first time concrete comparisons with artists from German-speaking countries, most of whom he did not know personally. Nevertheless, exciting parallels can be discovered between Modigliani and Paula Modersohn-Becker, Jeanne Mammen, Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and Wilhelm Lehmbruck, which are evidence of the close exchange between the European avant-gardes at that time. Her intensive preoccupation with portraits and nudes accompanies and shapes the development of the human image of a young generation of artists.

The exhibition also reassesses Modigliani's image of women and shows the painter as a chronicler of a strengthening female self-confidence in the years before and during the First World War. Modigliani's acts must also be re-evaluated in this context. In line with recent research, it becomes clear that Modigliani does not reduce his models to objects, but rather approaches them in a relationship characterized by equality.

The starting point for the exhibition, which was created in collaboration with the Museum Barberini Potsdam, are the artist's two paintings in the collection of the Staatsgalerie, which is one of only four museums in Germany to own works by the Italian. The exhibition is the first Modigliani show in Germany since 2009 and brings together more than 80 works from international museums and private collections.
