Abstract
In 1981 the musee d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris organized the exhibition Art Allemagne Aujourd’hui which presented for the first time in France a large display of German contemporary art. This event was set up as a reconciliation with contemporary German culture, which was long rejected because of the hatred of some French people, but also of the traces of the World War II. Through the analysis of the catalogs’ text, of the choices of works and artists, we attempted to understand what was shown to the French. Which german artists were chosen to represent contemporary Germany in the context of the Cold War, which symbols did the exhibition finally attempt to embody ?
