Not attending would be a mistake.
"Art of Two Germanys/Cold War Cultures" opened on January 25, 2009 and is the first major exhibition in the United States to capture the variety of art created during the Cold War years.
It is bold and politically charged, but the issues are easily understood by visitors that are not well-researched in German history.
I went to see the exhibit last Saturday when the museum was holding its "Late Night Art" show. It was an LA I've never seen before-- hundreds of art enthusiasts, images projected onto a white screen while unbearably loud music was spun live by two German DJs--I felt like I was in another world.
There were two great lines--one lead to the authentic German food and drink and the other to the main exhibit. After entering the building, we filed into an elevator the size of classroom and watched a slideshow on a flat screen TV which was part of the exhibit.
Overall "Art of Two Germanys" was a great import into Los Angeles and it taught the community about a part of world history through amazing illustrations and artifacts.
