In our own gallery, a selection of works from our collection is made accessible to the general public through permanent exhibitions with alternating hangings.In the main room of the gallery space in Bern we present a display of paintings by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. The selection of paintings from 1912 to 1930 spans from Kirchner's expressionist style influenced by the "Brücke" years in Dresden and city life in Berlin, to his new style developed in Davos in the mid 1920s - where Kirchner's title giving quote "The New Art is Here" comes from.The online exhibition takes the physical exhibition as a foundation and put the works on display in chronological order. The online exhibition acts as a visual timeline that gives in-depth insights and connects and contextualizes historical events, artistic developments and the personal life of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.
