Gallery Talk: Katharina Sieverding’s Deutschland wird deutscher XLI/92

Gallery Talk: Katharina Sieverding’s "Deutschland wird deutscher XLI/92"

In 1992, Katharina Sieverding designed this monumental print for exhibition in public space. The work combines a phrase taken from a newspaper article, “Deutschland wird Deutscher” (Germany becomes more German), and an image of the artist’s face surrounded by knives. It immediately became the subject of heated debate because of its artistic interrogation of anti-immigrant violence and the rise of extreme nationalism after the Berlin Wall fell. Join the Harvard Art Museums on December 4 at 12:30pm to discuss more about this artwork.

This talk is offered in conjunction with the exhibition "Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation"(September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025). Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the talk. Talks are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
