In conjunction with the exhibition Kunstlerplakate: Artists’ Posters from East Germany

Examining artists’ relationships with the state in East Germany between 1967 and 1990, Emily Pugh, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art, will explore artists’ practices in the East German regime, considering what was allowed or disallowed and why.
