DEEDS KALENDER: Camille Claudel und Bernhard Hoetger: Emanzipation von Rodin – Alte Nationalgalerie | until 28.09.2025

For the first time since 1905, the Alte Nationalgalerie is bringing together the sculptures of two artists whose work and paths crossed several times in Paris: Camille Claudel and Bernhard Hoetger. Both are united by their striving for recognition and their simultaneous rejection of the master of French sculpture, Auguste Rodin. In the midst of the Parisian avant-garde, both the French sculptor and the German sculptor, who was ten years younger, developed an artistic vitality that developed international appeal and is now being presented to the public together again after 120 years.
