Overview: 102 drawings and prints and 5 sculptures were loaned from public and private collections. The exhibition was organized as part of the "Tribute to Germany," a Washington-area cultural festival coordinated by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

In conjunction with Käthe Kollwitz, on weekends during May and June the Gallery presented lectures and a film series focusing on German expressionist films of the 1920s, and a documentary on the life of Kollwitz. This exhibition was on view concurrently with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Paintings, Drawings, and Prints, also a part of the "Tribute to Germany" festival.
