What could the primarily Western collection of the Nationalgalerie look like today if a global understanding of art had informed its development? Looking at artworks from non-European centres of Modernism and their activities, untold stories and overlooked connections are picked up and developed. The Nationalgalerie Berlin subjects its collection to a critical revision, focusing on those areas of the collection which are not central to a Western understanding of art. Starting points include Heinrich Vogeler’s turn to the Soviet Union, the Dadaist Tomoyoshi Murayama’s sojourn in 1920s Berlin, and Joseph Beuys’ collaborations with Nicolás García Uriburu. The result is a narrative of art from 1900 to the present which, from a global perspective, selectively takes up and explores historical, international, and transregional connections between artists and cultural contexts.

Subjecting its collection to a critical revision, the National Gallery in Berlin investigates, looking at artworks from non-European centers of modernism and exploring the untold stories and overlooked connections behind them.
Accompanying a large-scale exhibition featuring artworks from all over the world, this catalog considers exchanges like the Dadaist Tomoyoshi Murayamas sojourn to Berlin in the 1920s, the painter Heinrich Vogelers turn to the Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the famous Fluxus artist Joseph Beuyss collaborations with Argentinian ecologist Nicolás García Uriburu in the 1980s. Marking a paradigm shift in a globalizing present, this revised narrative of art from 1900 to the present explores the historical, international, and transregional connections undergirding the great art movements of the twentieth century.
