For the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the question of how to deal with
its own past arose directly after the end of the Second World War,
when the building once again served as an exhibition space . This
richly illustrated volume spans the key historical dates during
which a social and political development took place, at whose
beginning stood the ideology of the National Socialists and whose
end marked the start of Germany's transformation into a democratic
state. In this time period, it was not only the orientation of the
Haus der Kunst's content that changed; as a result of the
cultural-historical upheavals of this time, the basis for the
building's development as an international exhibition venue was
also laid. Today the Haus der Kunst plays a formative role in the
discussion of relevant positions in contemporary art. It documents
the historical developments within the context of political and
cultural transformations, as well as their international parallels
and references. Large exhibitions that were influential for the
topography of the art of the twentieth century such as the World
Exposition in Paris in 1937, the biennials in Venice, and the first
documenta in 1955 provide the coordinates for the international
dimension of the Haus der Kunst's story.
