BERLIN.- For the first time in Europe, an exhibition is being presented, which is focused specifically on narrating the art historical period of Socialist Realism in the former Soviet Union. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, 300 paintings are being exhibited in Berlin. These paintings represent an extraordinary cross-section of the everyday life of that time and conjure up the anxieties and emotionality of artists in an atmosphere of apparent calm and determination. On 6 November 2009 at 19.00 our special auction BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN - Art of Socialist Realism place at Jeschke-Van Vliet in Berlin
