Modern Worlds: Austrian and German Art, 1890-1940, printed by Prestel in 2021, is the unabridged Neue Galerie collection catalogue, complete with extensive essays and 286 plates. The Neue Galerie New York opened in November 2001, showcasing its collection of Austrian and German art from 1890 to 1940. This publication is issued in celebration of the museum’s twentieth anniversary and includes a number of major new acquisitions. The Austrian holdings encompass significant paintings by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Carl Moll, and Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts made by the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops, 1903-32) are another area of strength, in particular the designs of Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche. The German holdings emphasize the Expressionist movement, with canvases by members of the Brücke, including Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Artists affiliated with the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider), such as Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, August Macke, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Münter, figure prominently. The Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) movement is well represented by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Christian Schad. Works by leading proponents of Dada are another special interest, with a focus on John Heartfield, Hannah Höch, and Kurt Schwitters. Iconic creations by members of the Bauhaus represent additional highlights, including objects by Marcel Breuer, Marianne Brandt, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld, as well as art by Lyonel Feininger, László Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar Schlemmer.Hardcover280 pages; 327 color illustrations, 3 b/w illustrationsPrestel, 20219.25 x 11.25 inchesISBN 9783791379531Neue Galerie Exhibition Catalogue

German Expressionist Woodcuts

Edited by Ingrid Pfeiffer A comprehensive portrait of the Bauhaus artist's work.Known for his famous expressionist images of architecture, Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956) was a painter, graphic artist, and caricaturist who served as one of the original teachers at the Bauhaus school of design.

Lyonel Feininger: Retrospective

By Andreas PlatthausEr prägte das von Walter Gropius gegründete Bauhaus, dem er als einziger Meister vom ersten bis zum letzten Tag angehörte – von 1919 bis zur Auflösung durch die Nationalsozialisten 1933 –, wie kaum ein Zweiter. Mit seinen Freunden Paul Klee und Wassily Kandinsky revolutionierte er die Kunst. Später wurde er so populär und von der Alltagskultur eingemeindet, dass man Bilder von ihm als Plakate bei einem großen schwedischen Möbelhaus kaufen konnte: Lyonel Feininger. 1871 in New York geboren, hielt er sich von seinem siebzehnten Lebensjahr an fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang in Deutschland auf. Den Großteil dieser Zeit verbrachte er in Berlin, wo sich auch die rätselhaftesten Episoden seines Lebens abspielten. Warum blieb er, obwohl als "feindlicher Ausländer" registriert, während des Ersten Weltkriegs? Und warum verließ er, obwohl mit einer Jüdin verheiratet und Vater dreier Söhne, Nazi-Deutschland erst 1937? In der Persönlichkeit des Malers spiegelt sich das Dilemma einer doppelten Exil-Existenz im 20. Jahrhundert.Andreas Platthaus, der für dieses Buch zahlreiche Archivbestände auswerten konnte, erzählt das Leben eines Mannes, der sich im steten Zwiespalt zwischen amerikanischem und deutschem Selbstverständnis befand.Hardcover448 pagesText in GermanRowohlt Berlinm, 20215.7 x 8.6 inchesISBN 9783737101165Biography
