Collection Exhibition

150 Years Paula Modersohn-Becker

The Kunsthalle Bremen is celebrating Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876–1907) on the 150th anniversary of her birth with a section of the collection exhibition. A total of 19 works are on display – familiar paintings that have long been an integral part of the collection presentation, but also rarely seen works that have been in depot for a long time. Among them are some prominent returnees: some of the paintings, such as the Self-Portrait before a Green Background with Blue Iris (c. 1905), were loaned to New York and Chicago in 2024/25 for the first Paula Modersohn-Becker exhibition in the USA.
