Daniel Richter: Krieg und Konfitüre Group show together with George Grosz

5 September 2026—21 February 2027
Gustav-Lübcke-Museum Hamm, Hamm, Germany

The exhibition examines the political, social, and aesthetic parallels and differences between the two artists. Although our present day cannot be compared one-to-one with the turbulent Weimar years, this seems like an appropriate time to revisit, through the works of the observer Grosz, the century marked by two world wars and the rise of fascism. The exhibition explores pervasive questions of social responsibility, perceptions of crises, and forms of artistic protest, thereby highlighting a fundamental sentiment of our time: the coexistence of war and the joys of everyday life, of stress and consumerism, of social division and aesthetic overwhelm.
