Berlin Metropolis: 1918–1933 is an illustrated exhibition catalogue devoted to Berlin during the Weimar Republic, tracing the city’s cultural, political and artistic transformation between the end of World War I and the rise of National Socialism. Edited by Olaf Peters for the Neue Galerie exhibition, the book examines painting, drawing, collage, photography, architecture, film, fashion, music and urban life as connected parts of a restless modern metropolis. Through works by artists associated with Dada, New Objectivity and the avant-garde, alongside essays on the “New Woman,” mass culture, political crisis and modern design, the catalogue presents Berlin as a city of experimentation, social tension and rapid change. It is suited to readers interested in modern art, German history, Weimar culture and the question of how a city can become both a laboratory of freedom and a warning sign of collapse.
