From the 2nd – 5th March 2010, Goethe-Institut Korea will be welcoming bestselling author Martin Doerry, a long-time member of SPIEGEL’s chief editing team, for the opening of this exhibition. SPIEGEL is the most significant current affairs journal written in the German language; published worldwide, and with more than 6 million readers, it counts as one of Europe’s leading journals. Founded in 1947, it obtained its widespread significance by fearlessly advocating democracy and freedom of press, and exposing countless political scandals within its pages.
 
“The Art of SPIEGEL” will be showcasing more than 100 works by a variety of 60 illustrators that have been commissioned and published by SPIEGEL over the last 50 years. Not only will this exhibition offer a unique insight into international politics and trends from contemporary history, it will also give one the chance to learn about the work that illustrators and editors put into producing a SPIEGEL cover illustration. The opening night is Friday the 5th March, 7pm at the Korea Foundation Cultural Center in Seoul.
 
Presented by the Goethe-Institut Korea, the Korea Foundation, DER SPIEGEL, and the JungAng Daily.
