Guggenheim Museum brings roaring 20s to life 1 minute read
Bilbao, Spain, May 6 (EFE).- The rampant creativity and debauchery that marked the ‘Roaring Twenties’ a century ago are being showcased at an art exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao.
During a presentation on Thursday, Calixto Bieito, the theater director in charge of the exhibition’s scenography, called it “a hymn to freedom, to creativity”.
The exhibition, which runs until Sept. 19, features artists like German painters Christian Schad and Grethe Jürgens.
Paintings, sculptures, drawings, garments, and furniture are among the more than 300 objects on display at the exhibit, which is jointly organized by Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Kunsthaus Zürich.

The ‘Roaring Twenties’ was a decade (approximately 1921–29) of growing prosperity in the Western world, alimented by deferred spending, a boom in construction, and the rapid expansion of consumer goods, such as automobiles and electric home appliances. These factors materialised on the back of WWI devastation and, crucially, the N1H1 ‘Spanish Flu’ pandemic. As such, several pundits, journalists, commentators, and academics have been drawing parallels with that historical period, suggesting the post-Coronavirus recovery could be characterised by an economic boom, as illustrated in a recent cover story of
The Economist. In this column, I review the evidence in favour and against a reiteration of the ‘Roaring Twenties’ in the 2020s, in order to draw policy lessons from the past.
