This book represents the first study dedicated to Twentieth Century 
German Art, the 1938 London exhibition&nbsp;that was the largest 
international response to the cultural policies of National Socialist 
Germany and the infamous Munich exhibition Degenerate Art. Provenance 
research into the catalogued exhibits has enabled a full reconstruction 
of the show for the first time: its contents and form, its contributors 
and their motivations, and its impact both in Britain and 
internationally. 
Presenting the research via six case-study exhibits, the book sheds 
new light on the exhibition and reveals it as one of the largest émigré 
projects of the period, which drew contributions from scores of German 
émigré collectors, dealers, art critics, and from the ‘degenerate’ 
artists themselves. The book explores the show’s potency as an anti-Nazi 
 statement, which prompted a direct reaction from Hitler himself.
