Inventur: An Introduction from the Curator

Watch as curator Lynette Roth introduces our special exhibition Inventur—Art in Germany, 1943–55. The first exhibition of its kind, Inventur examines the highly charged artistic landscape in Germany from the mid-1940s to mid-1950s; it includes more than 160 works, many of which have never been shown outside Germany. The exhibition is on view February 9 through June 3, 2018, in our Special Exhibitions Gallery on Level 3.
