I've been waiting for all the summarizing critiques on Kunst in der DDR to come rolling in, but they're taking their time. Meanwhile: the AICA (international art critics' association) proclaimed KidDDR "exhibition of the year."
The Berliner Zeitung wonders why the show was so successful:
Möglicherweise...war die Anziehungskraft so stark, weil es die letzte "DDR-Schau" war und jetzt endlich der Zaun weg ist - für eine gesamtdeutsche Bilderausstellung. Dann könnte man endlich wieder richtig streiten.
I don't know if that's the reason the vast majority of the 210.000 visitors went, but I admit that I'm curious to see how things go from here: what will the first "Gesamtdeutsche" exhibition look like? How long until it happens? Who will organize it? Where will it be shown? What kind of conceptual framework will it have?
