Berlin Art Now
Author(s): Jim Rakete
Berlin has seen huge upheavals in the past fifteen years, not least its reinstatement as the capital city of the reunified Germany. Significant among these changes is its re-establishment as the thriving centre of the German art world: many home-grown artists are choosing to live and work there, and a diverse group of internationally renowned and aspiring artists has also converged on the city. This book considers the reasons behind Berlin's vital and vibrant art scene, profiling and assessing nineteen artists who feel a particular affinity with the city.
