Museum for German and Austrian Art The extended Neue Galerie collection is comprised of works belonging to Ronald S.

y, and to the museum itself. The Austrian material emphasizes the special relationship that existed in Vienna circa 1900 between the fine and decorative arts. Major artists in the field of fine arts include Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts include the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) and the designs of such well-known figures as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. The architects Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner are also represented. The collection of German art focuses on important movements of the early twentieth century. Max Beckmann, as well as Expressionist artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde, receive special attention. The Bauhaus is well represented, with strength in the area of decorative arts. Artists of note who were affiliated with the Bauhaus include Theodor Bogler, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, László Moholy-Nagy, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oskar Schlemmer, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld. Holdings of Neue Sachlichkeit material include both well-known and less familiar artists, including Albert Birkle, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Felix Nussbaum, and Georg Scholz.

We have all the sparkle! Permanently on view at the Neue Galerie, Gustav Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer I” (1907) is considered a masterpiece of Klimt’s so-called “Golden Style.” Few paintings have captured the public’s imagination as thoroughly as the Woman in Gold. Klimt’s painting of the Jewish socialite not only rendered Adele’s irresistible beauty and sensuality; its intricate ornamentation and exotic motifs heralded the dawn of modernity and a culture intent on radically forging a new identity.

German painter Franz Marc is well known for his colorful portrayals of animals and his extraordinary use of color. This we share “Cats on a Red Cloth,” which was completed by the artist in 1909-10.

In the present work, the use of just a few colors (blue, green, and red) in various shades and the nervous brushwork are results of his study of Vincent van Gogh’s oeuvre. Marc was searching for the artistic means to reveal the innermost quality of the motifs that was hidden behind an illusory reality. His work was not yet liberated from local color. In 1909 and 1910, he was also grappling with the subjects of the animal and of the human being.

“In her dazzling early charcoal portrait drawings,almost life size, she looked hard at her sitters, rendering roughened knuckles and dirt-encrusted fingernails as lovingly as a court painter did bridles and breeches. She recognized that hands can divulge as much as faces. In “Farmer’s Wife, Seated” (1899), a woman with a thick nose and tendoned neck gazes with a look of composure, a mood that is reinforced by the large, capable, weathered hands resting comfortably in her lap.”

“Little escaped Modersohn-Becker’s scrutiny. A paramount subject of inquiry was her own self. For some of her 60 self-portraits, which are her best-known works, she bared all: She is said to be the first Western female artist to depict herself in the n**e. In many others, she holds a flower or a fruit, like a saint or a nobleman in a Renaissance painting. Either way, she looks unmistakably modern.”

Paula Modersohn-Becker and Rainer Maria Rilke, two of the most important creative artists of early twentieth-century Europe, enjoyed a close friendship that left in its wake a remarkable series of letters. These deeply personal letters offer a poignant portrait of their unusually intense relationship, and of the two artists’ views on art, life, love, and marriage during a period of artistic upheaval.

Join us on Thursday, August 22 at 6:30 p.m. for “Fervor of Motherly Love: The Reception of Paula Modersohn-Becker’s Art in Weimar Germany,” a lecture presented by Michelle Vangen, Adjunct Professor at Kingsborough College. This lecture is part of a series organized in coordination with the Neue Galerie’s special exhibition, “Paula Modersohn-Becker: Ich bin Ich / I Am Me,” exploring various aspects of Modersohn-Becker’s life and work.

When Paula Modersohn-Becker died in 1907, she was essentially unknown as a painter. Within just two decades of her death, however, she had become the first woman artist in Germany to have a museum devoted to her art. In her talk, Michelle Vangen will explore how Modersohn-Becker’s fascination with motherhood, a theme she addressed repeatedly in her art, led to her rise to national renown in the 1920s. During a time when traditional gender roles were in flux, conservative art critics and collectors celebrated Modersohn-Becker’s ability to give visual form to the “fervor of motherly love.”

In honor of we share “Cat in a Child’s Arms,” which was completed by Paula Modersohn-Becker in 1903. This work measures 32.5 x 25.6 cm (12 2⁄3 x 10 in.) – some of Modersohn-Becker’s compact paintings appear to be fragments from a larger whole, but most were conceived from the outset as modest-size pictures. The cat clasped in a child’s arm bears witness to the artist’s eye for noticing striking details, which she translated into bold paintings that emanate grandeur.

Who else is enjoying Paris this summer?

Inspired by extended stays in Paris, Paula Modersohn-Becker explored more ambitious compositions for self-portraiture. In “Self-Portrait with Blue Glass” (ca.1902), the artist’s elegant dress and pose, the half-length format associated with royal portraits, and her direct gaze, all bespeak confidence. Standing in front of the Worpswede landscape, the artist holds a blue glass, which has been interpreted as a chalice symbolizing difficulties lying ahead. Symbolic ‘attributes’ of this kind—usually flowers and fruits—often feature in Modersohn-Becker’s portraits. Linked with purity, fertility, and the magical qualities she associated with nature, they increasingly took the place of background scenes.

To celebrate the exhibition “Paula Modersohn-Becker: Ich bin Ich / I Am Me,” which is now on view, Neue Galerie New York hosted a drawing contest, inviting artists to submit a self-portrait and interpret what it means to be “me.” The contest jury selected eight winning works of art for public display at the museum. Please join us in celebrating the winners and thanking all who participated with a submission. Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is a major figure in the history of German Expressionism. In her brief career, she produced more than 700 paintings and around 1,400 drawings, and many of her works were self-portraits.

Paula Modersohn-Becker concentrated on self-portraiture, still-lifes, and highly original depictions of mother and child n**es. She broke new ground stylistically, absorbing influences from modern artists, such as Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, and Vincent van Gogh. She discovered tribal art in the Trocadéro Museum at the same time as Pablo Picasso, and likewise began referencing African art in her proto-cubist figure paintings. Modersohn-Becker emerged as a trailblazer in modern art and a precursor of Expressionism.

Neue Galerie New York is delighted to present “Egon Schiele: Living Landscapes,” a special exhibition opening on October 17, 2024. This show will investigate the importance of landscape in the Austrian artist’s work. Plants, natural environments, and townscapes determine the spaces Egon Schiele created in his paintings, and they also reflect the rich symbolism he employed that is centered around the human condition. In particular, plants are often endowed with an allegorical meaning. Flowers and trees assume the role of portrait subjects and convey an almost human appearance. Schiele’s landscapes always represent more than their apparent subject matter. His portrayal of nature and his rendering of towns and trees epitomize the life cycle and the human condition.

Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907), “Self-Portrait on Her Sixth Wedding Anniversary, May 25, 1906”

Today we celebrate the many different forms of motherhood and the mother-child relationship. One example of this is a self-portrait by Paula Modersohn-Becker. While the artist depicted herself as pregnant, she was not indeed expecting at this time. Perhaps she envisioned herself as the mother to her paintings.

Renée Price, the founding director of Neue Galerie New York, shares an overview of “Klimt Landscapes.” This special exhibition examines Klimt’s landscapes within the context of his larger oeuvre and traces the evolution of his style from one informed by historicism and the academic tradition, to an embrace of Symbolist tendencies.

Now on view! 🍃 This major exhibition of Gustav Klimt’s (1862–1918) idyllic depictions in the landscape genre features significant paintings made while the artist was on his Sommerfrische (summer holiday) in the Austrian countryside. “Klimt Landscapes” February 15 - May 6, 2024 Get tickets at neuegalerie.org/visit✨ “Klimt Landscapes” presents highlights from Neue Galerie New York’s holdings, such as “Park at Kammer Castle” (1909) and “Forester’s House in Weissenbach II (Garden)” (1914), alongside important loans from museums and private collections in Europe and the United States, including works from the Harvard Art Museums, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Wien Museum. For the last twenty years of his career, Klimt devoted considerable energy to painting landscapes during his summer vacations on the Attersee in the Salzkammergut region of Austria, known for its tranquil lakes. Created purely for his own pleasure, these bucolic scenes became among his most sought-after pictures and were highly coveted by collectors. Most were made in a square format—a reflection of his fascination with photography. WEEKEND WITH KLIMT Opening festivities continue all weekend!

Today is your last chance to view this special exhibition! “Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925” offers an unprecedented focus on the ten-year period when Max Beckmann’s style moved away from his Impressionistic origins to the verist style of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) that defined his later work. Covering key topics, including portraiture and the self-portrait, religious paintings, allegory, still-lifes, landscapes, and social life in early Weimar Germany, the exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience and understand the evolution of Beckmann’s mature art through a close reading.

“The Neue Galerie’s darkly thrilling survey of Max Beckmann’s early work is just what we need in this season of dwindling sunlight and scant optimism. That’s not to say that it’s soothing, or cathartic, or even stirring; rather, it’s a version of the world by a clear-eyed virtuoso of pain.” – Financial Times NOW ON VIEW “Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925” Plan your visit at neuegalerie.org ✨ _______ In this video, curator Dr. Olaf Peters shares insights on the exhibition. 🎥 @sandenwolff #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #BeckmannFormativeYears

Neue Galerie New York is delighted to present Filmbar, a movie series hosted in Café Fledermaus. With the Fall 2023 Filmbar series, we present a selection of silent films directed by Ernst Lubitsch, who once claimed that at least “twice a day the most dignified human being is ridiculous.” A contemporary of Max Beckmann – the focus of the Neue Galerie’s special exhibition this season – Lubitsch’s comedies offer an intelligently ironic lens on their time. According to Billy Wilder, no one was ever able to replicate the Lubitsch Touch, a phrase that is used to describe the director’s unique style. We are presenting five of Lubitsch’s greatest works: “I Don’t Want to be a Man” (1918) “The Oyster Princess” (1919) “The Doll” (1919) “The Wild Cat” (1921) “Kohlhiesel’s Daughters” (1920) This Filmbar series begins on October 27 and runs through January 12.

Austrian painter Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) is renowned for his provocative allegories, contemplative landscapes, and most of all for his sensuous portraits of women. Klimt himself expressed a special preoccupation with women above all other subjects. Klimt's style matured over the course of his career from ethereal and feminine depictions, to examples in his so-called "golden style," and to later works that show his fascination with color, decorative ornament and his admiration of Asian art. Painted between 1901 and 1918, these pictures capture how his sitters evolved from keepers of the domestic realm to modern women, who embraced life with greater agency and self-determination. Together, they convey a sense of Klimt's obsession with the allure and intrigue of women, and their appreciation of his ability to transform them into icons of feminine beauty and grace. Send a lovely note to someone with this gorgeous box of stationery, which includes reproductions of Klimt's most acclaimed female portraits. 16 notecards, 16 envelopes.

Now on view! Neue Galerie New York is delighted to present “Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925.” This landmark show, on view from October 5, 2023 through January 15, 2024, focuses on the shift that occurred in Beckmann’s work during a crucial decade following World War I. It is the first special exhibition to open at the Neue Galerie following the museum's short period of closure from June through August 2023; the Neue Galerie has been undertaking enhancements to its historic building to promote sustainability and improve the visitor experience on every level. “Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925” features approximately 100 works by the artist, comprising major paintings, drawings, and significant print portfolios, many on loan from museums and private collections in Europe and the United States. It will offer an unprecedented focus on this ten-year period, when the artist’s style moved away from his Impressionistic origins to the verist style of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) that defined his later work, although he later distanced himself from this term and favored “transcendent objectivity” instead.

About Neue Galerie New York

The mission of the Neue Galerie New York is to collect, preserve, research, and exhibit fine and decorative art of Germany and Austria from the first half of the twentieth century. The museum collection covers a range of media, including painting, sculpture, works on paper, decorative arts, and photographs created in Austria and Germany between 1890 and 1940. The extended Neue Galerie collection is comprised of works belonging to Ronald S. Lauder, to the Estate of Serge Sabarsky, and to the museum itself. The Austrian material emphasizes the special relationship that existed in Vienna circa 1900 between the fine and decorative arts. Major artists in the field of fine arts include Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts include the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) and the designs of such well-known figures as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. The architects Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner are also represented. The collection of German art focuses on important movements of the early twentieth century. Max Beckmann, as well as Expressionist artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Emil Nolde, receive special attention. The Bauhaus is well represented, with strength in the area of decorative arts. Artists of note who were affiliated with the Bauhaus include Theodor Bogler, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, László Moholy-Nagy, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Oskar Schlemmer, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld. Holdings of Neue Sachlichkeit material include both well-known and less familiar artists, including Albert Birkle, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Felix Nussbaum, and Georg Scholz.
