Join Armin Kunz, owner and director of C. G. Boerner Gallery, for an insightful talk about the history of collecting 19th-century German art in the United States. Inspired by the exhibition Seeking Revelation: German Romantic Prints and Drawings, Kunz will trace how Romantic and Biedermeier collections developed in particular cities, with a special focus on the Milwaukee Art Museum. Drawn from the Museum’s collection, Seeking Revelation examines how artists of the German Romantic movement (1770–1850) faced an unpredictable time by making work that helped them gain a deeper understanding of universal questions.
This drop-in experience is included with Museum admission and is free for Members. Museum admission is pay-what-you-wish on Thursday nights from 4 to 8 p.m. The Milwaukee Art Museum is grateful to its exhibition sponsors.
