Deutsches Historisches Museum - Verf�hrung Freiheit. Kunst in Europa seit 1945 - Blog

“The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe since 1945“ is the 30th Council of Europe art exhibition. The Council has 47 member states and wants to achieve “a greater unity between its members for the purpose of safeguarding and realising the ideals and principles which are their common heritage and facilitating their economic and social progress.” (Article 1, Statute of the Council of Europe). How does the Council want to achieve that? What else does it do? And what were the stories behind the other 29 Council of Europe art exhibitions? This is what we are going to look at in this category. And not to forget the European Commission which finances the exhibition.
