Caspar David Friedrich. Places of Longing
Chalk Cliffs on Rügen & Greifswald HarbourSpecial exhibition
The anniversary exhibition around Caspar David Friedrich's birthday on September 5th features a real star guest: the main work "Chalk Cliffs on Rügen". The world-famous painting, now at home in Winterthur, Switzerland, will be on display for seven weeks and for the first time ever presented in Friedrich's home region and at the Pomeranian State Museum – a long-awaited encounter of painting and landscape after more than 200 years! Combined with other masterpieces such as the "Greifswald Harbour" and "Eldena Ruin in the Giant Mountains", the exhibition casts a light upon the artist's "places of longing" in Swedish Pomerania and beyond. An additional hommage to Friedrich will extend the display. The photographer Volkmar Herre brings back the alluring view on the "Chalk Cliffs" through the camera obscura.
The patron of the special exhibition is Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig.
To the anniversary year 2024 at the Pomeranian State Museum.
