Famous for her public appearances, lifestyle, and fashion sense, Renée Sintenis was among the most recognized artists in Germany’s interwar period. This tour explores her work in the context of sexual identity and the women’s rights movement in 1920s Berlin.
Our galleries are full of stories—this series of talks gives visitors a chance to hear the best ones! The talks highlight new works on view, take a fresh look at old favorites, investigate artists’ materials and techniques, and reveal the latest discoveries by curators, conservators, fellows, visiting artists, technologists, and other contributors.
