From September 25, 2026, through January 3, 2027, the Neubrandenburg Art Collection will present the exhibition “Spaces of Longing: Surrealism and Magical Realism in the Art of the GDR.”

Artists such as Erich Kissing, Horst Sakulowski, and Heinz Zander developed experimental practices to forge their own paths within the cultural and artistic landscape of the GDR.
