Realized in nine parts between 1974–81 at the Hamburger Kunsthalle under the direction of then-director Werner Hofmann, the cycle groundbreakingly focused on the profound upheavals at the beginning of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003eKunst um 1800 was a research project, exhibition experiment, celebration of the visual arts, and political statement. In the course of establishing a contentious democracy in the 1970s, the series highlighted the impact of artworks in the \"Age of Revolutions.\" The focus was on artists who broke with the conventions of their time: Ossian, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Füssli, William Blake, Johan Tobias Sergel, William Turner, Philipp Otto Runge, John Flaxman, and Francisco Goya.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume documents in great detail all exhibitions of Kunst um 1800 – a nine-stage process that is missing from current considerations of art exhibition history.

What is still largely unknown is that Friedrich's career was closely linked to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Weimar. In 1805, he sent drawings to Goethe for the first time, which the poet recognized with an award. This was followed by a complex relationship marked by mutual admiration and critical distance. With this focus, the volume presents the outstanding collection of Friedrich's works in Weimar. Works by other significant artists such as Carl Gustav Carus, Louise Seidler, and Philipp Otto Runge offer a new perspective on the \"City of Classics,\" also highlighting the role of literature in Romantic art.
