Echtzeit: New Works for the City of Dresden Art Collection

Unique Exhibition of Contemporary Art in Dresden

The Städtische Galerie Dresden invites visitors to the special exhibition Echtzeit (Real Time): New Works for the City of Dresden Art Collection, on view from 26 October 2024 to 21 April 2025. This exhibition is the result of remarkable civic support made possible through the legacy of an anonymous benefactor. Thanks to her financial contribution, the Städtische Galerie’s collection has been enriched with 51 contemporary artworks, with a focus on artists who are either active in Dresden or trained there.

The exhibition provides a unique insight into developments in contemporary art, showcasing significant pieces, including Ordensschwester by Hermann Glöckner from 1927, alongside current works by artists such as Angela Hampel and Sophia Schama. The diversity of artistic styles offers an exciting journey through various aesthetic strategies and themes that reflect our present times.
