Turkish

In the period following the Second World War (1939-1945) which ended with the defeat of the National Socialists, Germany was split into two parts as the East Germany and the West Germany, as a result of which the German people experienced polarized modes of rule. During the era in question, young German artists, who were trained within the country, immigrated abroad to be involved in the globalized art world and went on to perform their art in the United Stated and in other European countries. So in 1960s and afterwards, the works of German artists were exhibited in prominent art galleries in the West and German art took part in the renewed understanding of plastic arts to a greater extent. In this article, the contribution of German artists who continued their work abroad to the national artistic heritage has been analysed through the examples of Gerhard Richter (1932) and Anselm Kiefer (1945).
