Berlin 1989 is an exhibition event taking place at Palazzo Zevallos in Naples from 12 October 2019 to 19 January 2020. The aim of the exhibition is to represent the historical and artistic developments that developed around the Berlin Wall during its existence and especially following its fall.

Beginning in the 1980s and continuing for decades, German painting, on which the exhibition focuses, gave rise to the movement known as Neo-Expressionism. The artists who participated in it called themselves Neue Wilden, or New Savages: their aim was to communicate the historical and social contradictions they witnessed through dramatic and impactful painting .

Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz, Bernd Zimmer are among the most important names in the pictorial current of Neo Expressionism.
