This season of Cabaret at Café Sabarsky continues! Join us on Thursday, November 30 at 7 p.m. for a performance by Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano.

The award-winning husband-and-wife duo returns to Café Sabarsky with a dynamic musical program The New York Times calls “exhilarating” and “cabaret caviar.” With a delightful selection of Broadway and Hollywood gems in addition to songs by cabaret greats such as Kurt Weill and Friedrich Hollaender, the charming couple showcases their signature range, expert musicianship and joie de vivre (The New Yorker) by inviting cabaret-goers to a party where the music and the stories are equally fabulous.

11/07/2023

Max Beckmann was an eminent printmaker and published a small number of portfolios during the first years of the Weimar Republic. Due to the economic circumstances after the war, these prints represented both an opportunity to sell art and to receive public recognition.

This gallery displays very important print portfolios by Max Beckmann. “Hell” was published in 1919 and consists of ten plates—Beckmann described it as a “grand spectacle”—plus a cover image. One plate, “The Night,” depicts the brutal scene of an attack on a family. It is the graphic version of his masterful painting with the same title realized in 1918–19. The remainder of the plates may be considered as substitutes for unpainted pictures. The large format of the plates indicates the enormous meaning the portfolio carried for the artist. It shows Beckmann as a highly politically aware artist, as in his depiction of the brutal torture and murder of the socialist leader Rosa Luxemburg in a work entitled “Martyrdom.”

Costume inspiration: dress up like Max Beckmann!

This self-portrait by the artist keeps us constantly off balance. At first, you may be struck by Beckmann’s formal attire and dignified pose. Bowler hat. Dapper suit. Draped scarf. Cigar. But look closely, and you’ll discover elements that undermine this impression. The colors and patterns in the background suggest a circus – an environment where things are seldom what they seem.

We decorate with pumpkins in our own way here at the Neue Galerie. 🎃

Affectionately dubbed an “ornamental genius” by Josef Hoffmann, Dagobert Peche (1887–1923) was a brilliant and versatile artist. Peche was involved with the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) for about a third of its nearly 30-year history, and he is credited with ushering in a new and revitalized era for the firm. Although most of what he designed had a functional purpose, Peche eschewed the utilitarian. Instead, he found his raison d’être in artistic expression for its own sake. For example, the whimsical coffee and tea service shown here has ornately carved ivory handles. They provide a sensuous surface while also protecting the user's hands from getting burned. The turquoise and silver rosettes serve no practical purpose, yet they add a playful note to the otherwise restrained forms of the hand-chased silver gourds.

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.

““I am managing gradually to express myself more substantially and that provides me with stability and calm in this great madness in which we are now living more than before.”
– Max Beckmann, 1917

Before World War I, Max Beckmann had established a career in Berlin and created huge paintings depicting certain tragedies of contemporary life, such as the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. From 1914–15, he volunteered as a medical orderly and experienced the horrors of war. As a consequence, he made the decision to reorient himself as a contemporary artist and to reformulate his artistic concept. Beckmann did not so much depict the war itself, but mirrored the suffering of the people by incorporating Christian iconography. These works are reminiscent of late Medieval art, as well as a synthesis of existing tendencies in Expressionist art.

10/19/2023

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.

10/17/2023

Max Beckmann met Minna Tube in 1903 at the Grand-Ducal Saxon Art School in Weimar, where they were both studying painting. The couple married in 1906 and their son Peter was born in 1907, after they had moved to Berlin. Minna was a very good painter, but also an opera singer, and her husband had problems with that. She gave up painting and pursued a career as an opera singer, performing in cities in Austria and Germany.

This portrait of the artist’s wife was completed in 1924 when it was more or less clear that divorce was imminent. Another shift is reflected in Beckmann’s style. Aware of Pablo Picasso’s work at the time, Beckmann shows how he tries to rival the French artist. Picasso’s work had shifted from the fractured forms of Cubism to an idealized reimagination of ancient classical sculpture. This painting reflects that.

In coordination with the special exhibition, “Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925,” Neue Galerie New York is delighted to host a lecture series with a focus on different aspects of the German artist's career. On Thursday, October 26 at 6:30 p.m., Robert Storr, Professor and Dean Emeritus of the Yale School of Art will present “The Hell of the Birds.”

Coming into his own in an era of trauma and dislocations much like our own, Max Beckmann was deeply ambivalent about the promises of "modernity" even as he was profoundly affected by the ruptures and conflicts of his moment and milieu. Caught between what Antonio Gramsci called "an old world that was dying and a new one that cannot be born (yet,)" Beckmann turned away from more or less realistic representation toward claustrophobic, heavily charged allegories of an apocalyptic present. This talk will range from his experiences in and renditions of World War I, to his Neue Sachlichkeit depictions of Weimar Germany, on through to his congested, dialectical, often multipanel portrayals of a world coming apart at the seams.

10/12/2023

“Carnival” (1920) is a very personal painting for Max Beckmann. In the center, we see Fridel Battenberg. Fridel and her husband, artist Ugi Battenberg, were dear friends of Beckmann, and took him in after he suffered a breakdown as a volunteer medical orderly in World War I. Fridel is standing precisely on the central axis of the painting with her legs casually crossed. She is flanked by Beckmann’s Berlin-based art-dealer Jsrael Ber Neumann. A figure in a grotesque animal mask is lying curled up on the floor: it is generally thought to be Beckmann himself, whose masked mouth outlined in red touches Fridel’s red shoes, whose color takes up the eye and hue of the mask. This eye is directed frontally at the viewer, but artificially; Fridel, by contrast, gazes with her blue eyes into a vague distance; and Neumann appears to be looking at Fridel but scarcely reaches her. The entire scene takes place in a cramped overfilled space, which features candles, a mirror, a gramophone, a horn, a champagne bucket, a dog, and a cat.

Beckmann skillfully harmonizes the forms and colors in the composition. Directions are indicated and adopted, and yet it all plays out within the narrow, vertical, rectangle of the painting without really crossing the edge of the painting. It suggests comparison with late medieval carved altarpieces, as if their compression of figures has been transferred to canvas. The indications of the space and its volumes being partially splintered and faceted reflect Beckmann’s grappling with Cubism, whose lack of color is, however, ostentatiously outdone in this comparatively colorful painting.

Join us for special Archtober programming at the Neue Galerie! On Thursday, October 12 at 6:30 p.m., Mark Wigley, Professor of Architecture and Dean Emeritus at Columbia University, will present “The Infinite Interior of Friedl Dicker. ” One of the first and strongest students at the Bauhaus in 1919, Friedl Dicker was ultimately more Bauhaus than the Bauhaus—developing a unique trans-disciplinary mode of practice that crossed architecture, interior design, theater sets, fashion, textiles, accessories, painting, photo-collage, graphic design, typography, toys, and pedagogy. This lecture explores the unique sense of interior that Dicker constructed, an architecture to both defend people from a relentlessly brutal exterior world and to free individual creativity in daily life. Dicker’s gift was an unbinding interior, an agile but ultimately fragile space that was systematically erased along with so many of those sheltered within it. Yet the space survives in lingering archival traces that are themselves defiant witnesses—and provocations for design in multiple contexts today.

Neue Galerie New York is delighted to participate in the celebration of Archtober, New York City’s Architecture and Design Month. This annual festival of architecture activities, programs and exhibitions takes place each October. Limited space is available for the programs, so please be sure to register in advance for tickets.

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.
