The album of works presented at the exhibition intriguingly entitled Man in the Middle. The subject of both the exhibition and the publication is the image of man – variable and ambiguous – which has always been the most important inspiration for artists. Reproductions of paintings, drawings and photographs included in the album give us an exceptional opportunity to get to know the most interesting phenomena of contemporary art, from modernism and expressionism of early the 20th c. to the latest tendencies and trends including the most outstanding German artists of the 20th c. Beuys, Dix, Grosz, Kokoschka, Kollwitz, Prince, Salomé, Schlemmer, Sieverding – these are some names selected from among the artists whose works are included. The catalogue is completed by essays by well-known art critics and art historians: J.M. Bradburne, J. Gerchow, A. Grigoteit and F. Hütte (the authors of the exhibition), V. Loers, G. Nonnenmacher, and A. Rottenberg.
