Beckmann died just over 70 years ago on 27 December 1950 meaning his work entered the public domain at the end of last year. The new platform, accessible from 3 pm on 15 January, is free to use and caters to the public and Beckmann scholars, according to a statement released by the Hamburg Kunsthalle. In addition to images, the site includes data on more than 5,000 publications and 1,350 exhibitions as well as information about archives, auctions and institutions. The art historian Anja Tiedemann has worked for five years on the catalogue, which is funded by the Kaldewei Stiftung, a private foundation devoted to promoting German Expressionism. Fro
