Edited by Olaf Peters On the eve of its subject's centennial, this richly illustrated and meticulously researched catalog celebrates—and reconsiders—one of the twentieth century's most significant artistic movements. Gustav F. Hartlaub’s 1925 exhibition “Neue Sachlichkeit” (New Objectivity) for the Kunsthalle Mannheim was a pivotal event that showcased a new artistic movement in Germany, characterized by its critical realism, social commentary, and detailed depiction of contemporary life; it marked a significant departure from Expressionism’s emotional intensity. But it was divided by two philosophies—the unflinching and socially critical Verists (Otto Dix, George Grosz, Georg Scholz, and others) and the Classicists (Alexander Kanoldt, Georg Schrimpf, and Christian Schad) who focused on harmony and beauty. This wide-ranging survey explores the tension between these camps and interprets it as a coherent chapter in art history. Essays by leading experts shed new light on the movement through the lens of regionality while considering a wide spectrum of media: architecture, design, drawings, film, paintings, photography, and philosophy. Their illuminating texts are accompanied by stunning reproductions of works such as Otto Dix’s Portrait of the Lawyer Dr. Fritz Glaser; Georg Scholz’s Of Things to Come; and Marcel Breuer’s Chair B 33. Impeccably produced and researched, this volume captures the ways that the New Objectivity proponents mirrored the Weimar period’s cultural, political, and social complexities.

With a foreword by Ronald S. Lauder and a preface by Renée PriceThis sumptuous book commemorates the twentieth anniversary of the Neue Galerie New York and includes highlights of the museum’s collection. Austrian and German Masterworks: Twentieth Anniversary of the Neue Galerie New York printed by Prestel in 2021, is the updated version of the Masterworks from Neue Galerie New York catalogue. 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
