Because Bonn had become in 1949 the seat of the Federal Government, from Berlin prepared exhibition "Berliner Künstler" took place. To the exhibition committee belonged: Bernhard Heiliger, Karl Hofer, Max Kaus, Hans Kuhn, Karl Schmitt-Rottluff a.o. Foreword by Walter Holzhausen, text by Will Grohmann. The accompanying catalogue says:
"... The exhibition features one hundred and fifteen works of art by thirty-five painters and sculptors ... it has rightly been pointed out, in view of the foreign exhibitions in Germany, that the western world, be it Paris, London, New York or Berlin, follows similar impulses in the arts and that a common consensus has already been achieved.
