Sixty years of the Constitution, twenty years since the Fall of the Wall and reunification. In 2009/10, we in Germany are commemorating a number o historical events which have decisively defined the development of our country. This has prompted the Weserburg, Bremen\'s museum of modern art, to introduce a two-part series of exhibition A.R. Penck-Deutschland (A.R. Penck-Germany), followed by Freibeuter der Utopie (Buccaneers of Utopia) next year.
The exhibition presents the artist personality A.R. Penck with works from the Bockmann Collection, Berlin. With more than forty mostly large-format paintings from the years 1956 to 2007, it is one of the most important Penck collections in Europe. The Bockmann Collection comprises outstanding works from a number of the artist\'s creative phases-from the early portraits; the standard, system, and world painting; to the TM pictures and recent work.
The exhibition is being supplemented by artists\' books and disk records from the Karin and Uwe Hollweg and Manfred and Jacqueline Schmidt collections and from the archive of the Research Center for Artists\' Publications at the Weserburg, as well as by a film by Ebba Jahn. Another one of the exhibition\'s goals is to describe Penck\'s life as an artist between the Est and West by means of selected archive and documentation materials, at the center of which is his collaboration with Jorg Immendorff.
