The Hamburger Kunsthalle is showing This Is the Modern World from 4 September 2026 to 30 May 2027, an exhibition of about 125 works engaging with the promises and fractures of modernity. The show was featured in coverage of Hamburg Art Week, which framed the city as a crossing point for contemporary currents. The exhibition brings together modern and contemporary positions in a long-running institutional reflection on how art narrates the modern era. It forms a centrepiece of the Kunsthalle's autumn programme.
