Moritz Götze & Werner Tübke at Museumshof Zingst

The “Big Four” of Socialist Realism probably wouldn’t have found this exhibition all that amusing, but official East Germany was rather humorless anyway. Nevertheless, it’s a magnificent success—profound, rich in content, exuberant, and entertaining. This is thanks to its curator, Freddy Langer; the artist Moritz Götze; a dynamic couple of collector friends; several gallery owners; and, of course, some of the comrades mentioned above—especially Werner Tübke, a true giant of 20th-century painting.
