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. The Austrian holdings encompass significant paintings
by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Carl Moll, and
Richard Gerstl. Decorative arts made by the Vienna Werkstatte
(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 Brucke, 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 Munter, figure prominently. The Neue Sachlichkeit (New
Objectivity) movement is well represented by Max Beckmann, Otto
Dix, George Grosz, and Christian Schad. Works by proponents of
Dada, such as John Heartfield, Hannah Hoech, and Kurt Schwitters,
are a key interest. Iconic creations from the Bauhaus, including
objects by Marcel Breuer, Marianne Brandt, Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld, as well as art by Lyonel Feininger,
Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar Schlemmer, are special highlights.
