Innenwelten

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, revolutionized the image of man at the start of the last century. His concept of the "unconscious" became the driving force behind the European avant-garde of his time and, like no other, he shaped the culture of the 20th century. At the beginning of the last century his idea that human feelings, thoughts and actions are strongly influenced by the unconscious helped to create the pan-European art movement of Surrealism. The exhibition INNENWELTEN / INNER WORLDS features 50 selected positions by international artists and provides a broad survey of a more than 100-year history of art reception. On a tour of almost 100 works that is both chronological and thematic, it presents the impact of Freud's concepts on the fine arts.
