The exhibit includes a broad variety of painting style and seeks to start conversations among audiences about its broader themes. It is curated by Johanna Steinz and spearheaded by German Honorary Consul Klaus Becker.

The Deutschlandjahr is a year of events that conveys a multifaceted image of Germany across the U.S. aiming at deepening the transatlantic partnership in all aspects of civil society.
