Experience: ..the hottest new art from Europe
Constructing New Berlin is the first major exhibition of contemporary art made in post-Wall Berlin. The re-unified and resurging Berlin is once again becoming Europe’s hot art capitol and is providing a surge of energy and inspiration for the congregating artist from around the world. Now you can see the cutting edge work of 16 Berlin-based artists, together for the first time, only at Phoenix Art Museum.
