 Collecting 20th-Century German And Austrian Art - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
There are several reasons why such modern German and Austrian art has had a difficult time with American audiences over the last 50 years (by contrast, U.S. collectors of contemporary art have avidly bought contemporary German artists such as Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer and Sigmar Polke since the 1980s).
The most obvious reason is the post-World War II stigma attached to German art in particular, even though the Nazis denounced most avant-garde art of their time as "degenerate," publicly mocking and sometimes even destroying it.
The 1920s German art movement known as New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), for example, satirized the corruption and excesses of German society after World War I, the "Weimar Republic." Without some background in the historical circumstances, those pictures can be difficult to understand.
