Otto Dix is a famous son of the East Thuringian city of Gera, having been born there in 1891. His work spans from the Imperial era to the period after 1945, and he is one of the most renowned painters and graphic artists of his century. With the late Baroque Orangery, a historic building in the heart of the city, Gera has chosen a prestigious venue to honor the artist. The permanent exhibition was conceived by Ulrike Lorenz, director of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar (Weimar Classics Foundation). The original paintings are complemented by installations using light, films, and immersive experiences, allowing the artist's work to be experienced in a variety of ways. The exhibition also includes loans, for example, from the Niescher Collection and from the Otto Dix Foundation in Vaduz, established in 1983 by the artist's widow, Martha Dix, who strongly advocated for this prestigious solution.
