For 40 years, the Cold War dominated the world stage
. East and West Germany stood at the frontlines of the global confrontation, symbolized by the infamous Berlin Wall, which separated lovers, friends, families, coworkers, and compatriots.
The
Wende Museum
in Los Angeles, California, is named after the period of change immediately following the wall's destruction. It was established in 2002 to study the
visual and material culture of the former Eastern Bloc
, and, with physical and psychic distance, to foster multiple perspectives on this
multilayered history that continues to shape our world
.
This encyclopedic volume features
around 2,000 items
from its extraordinary collections. Based on our XL-sized volume, this edition
includes a full spectrum of art, archives, and artifacts from socialist East Germany
: official symbols and dissident expressions, the spectacular and the routine, the mass-produced and the handmade, the funny and the tragic.
Accompanying these remnants of a now-vanished world are
texts from scholars and specialists
from across Europe, Canada, and the United States, with themes ranging from the
secret police to sexuality
, from
monuments to
mental-mapping
More than 800 pages, featuring around 2,000 objects. A smaller, more accessible version of our XL-sized volume, the most comprehensive overview of GDR visual and material culture to date. Several dozen images of everyday life and public events from the most famous GDR photographers. Special two-language edition featuring texts both in English and German.
Visit the Wende Musem at its expanded campus
in Culver City’s
Armory Building
, a site originally created in preparation for World War III but re-designed by Michael Boyd, Christian Kienapfel, and
Benedikt Taschen
to welcome its 100,000+ collection of artifacts.
