Global Art • 1925
Selective works that use stark realism to convey the sense of disillusionment that racked Germany throughout the twenties, Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub curates the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) exhibition in Mannheim, Germany. The show includes works by George Grosz, Otto Dix and Christian Schad, amongst others.

An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
