7 State Gallery Stuttgart Konrad-Adenauer-Straße Stuttgart The State Gallery Stuttgart is comprised today of three buildings The oldest part of the gallery, known today as the Old State Gallery, was constructed from 1838 to 1843 by Gottlob Georg Barth as the Museum of Picture Art In 1984, the Old State Gallery was joined by the New State Gallery, constructed by the English master architect James Stirling The Swiss architects Wilfrid und Katharina Steib annexed the Old State Gallery in 2002 While the Old State Gallery contains works from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the New State Gallery contains art from the 20th century, including works from Braque, Chagall, Debuffet, Klee, Koloschka and Nolde Futhermore, the Gallery has one of the most important collections of Picasso's work to be seen In addition to the featured paintings, sculptures, and photography, the largest collection of European drawings and printed graphics within, with more than papers, can also be viewed (text from website Stuttgart Information) photo: Jean-Jacques Jungers 1984 James Stirling -MT4- 7
