Käthe Kollwitz – And yet it is art
Käthe Kollwitz always questioned her work self-critically and compared it with contemporary works of colleagues, to conclude in her diary in December 1922 about her works: “And yet [ist es] art.” With this in mind, our permanent exhibition examines, first with our own holdings and later alternating with loans from friendly collections and private lenders, the artistic quality of the works of a graphic artist and sculptor who has far too often been reduced to her political and social impact.
