This major exhibition will focus on the work of 23 well-known painters, sculptors, photographers, and architects in exile during the 12 years of Nazi rule. It will examine the impact of their emigration and the circumstances of their exile. The first section of the show focuses on the wave of migration of German and Austrian artists who sought refuge in the European capitals of Paris, London, and Amsterdam, featuring the work of Vasily Kandinsky, Max Beckmann, John Heartfield, Kurt Schwitters, and Oskar Kokoschka. The central part of the exhibition will be devoted to the work of those artists who, after the 1930s, fled to America, including Fernand Liger, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Marc Chagall, and Matta as well as architects Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. The exhibition will attempt to explore the responses to these artists and their work in the United States. It will include 130 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and graphics; 200 documents, posters, letters, and ephemera; architectural reconstructions and models; and a specially commissioned 15-minute film on American immigration policy. The exhibition will be designed by the internationally renown architect Frank O. Gehry. Credit line: This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It was funded in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Helen and Peter Bing.
