Unified by the breadth and depth of art from across Europe, it offers seldom seen works from the pinnacle of the Avant-Garde, from the figurative to the abstract. At its core is an exceptionally beautiful 1931 portrait of Picasso’s lover, Marie-Thérèse, an intimate glimpse into their early days together when the love between the artist and his most important muse was still a secret from the world.” The first decades of the twentieth century would change the course of art history for ever. This treasure-trove from a private collection – little known and rarely seen – spans the remarkable period, telling its story through the leading protagonists, from Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti to Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger and Alexej von Jawlensky.

  • Outstanding Works of German Expressionism at Villa Grisebach's
    Outstanding works of German Expressionism at Villa Grisebach’s autumn auctions Villa Grisebach’s autumn auctions from November 27 until 30 present 1294 works of art with a median pre-sale estimate of 18 million euros. Masterworks of Modern Art form the traditional focus, while the Photography, 19th Century Art and Contemporary Art sections find themselves expanded again. Selected Objects of the decorative and fine arts enrich the discriminating offerings of the four-day sales in the ORANGERIE auction (see separate press release). The sales’ opening auction is 19th Century Art on November 27: A late, finished master drawing by Adolph Menzel created in 1894 in Karlsbad deserves special attention (estimate € 50,000 / 70,000) much as the preliminary study in oil for Max Liebermann’s famous “Flachsscheuer” painting at Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin (€ 140,000 / 180,000). After the ORANGERIE auction on the morning of November 28, Selected Works presents from 5 PM a selection of highlights that span the entire 20th century: This evening sale begins with Paula Modersohn-Becker’s painting, “Landschaft mit Moortümpel,” from 1900; it ends with Thomas Demand’s photograph, “Campingtisch” from 1999. In between, modern master works of museum quality are on offer: Max Liebermann’s painting “Garten in Noordwijk-Binnen” of 1909 (€ 500,000 / 700,000) and his “Blumenterrasse im Wannseegarten nach Nordwesten” of 1915 (€ 350,000 / 500,000). The leading artist groups of German Expressionism, “Die Brücke” and “Der Blaue Reiter,” are represented with important works. Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s “Watt bei Ebbe” is a museum quality example for the Expressionists’ new will around 1912 to experiment with composition and powerful colors (€ 1,000,000 / 1,500,000).

  • Storm of Progress: German Art After 1800 from the Collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum
    Audio Guide Transcript Storm of Progress: German Art After 1800 from the Collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum November 8, 2020–February 28, 2021 Main Exhibition Galleries STOP 1 Introduction Gallery: Director’s Welcome Speaker: Brent Benjamin Barbara B. Taylor Director Saint Louis Art Museum Hello, I’m Brent Benjamin, Barbara B. Taylor Director of the Saint Louis Art Museum. It’s my pleasure to welcome you to Storm of Progress: German Art after 1800 from the Collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum. COVID-19 has disrupted most art shipping, and as a consequence, we have revised our exhibition schedule to develop this extraordinary show, which tells a 200-year story of German art drawing on the Museum’s holdings, a collection that is virtually unparalleled outside of Germany. The Museum’s collection of German art is unique for an American museum. It includes a strong focus on German Expressionism and the works of Max Beckmann as well as every major artist in German postwar and contemporary art, including such luminaries as Anselm Kiefer, Gerhard Richter, and Sigmar Polke. This unique civic treasure is a testament to the philanthropic support of our patrons, notably Morton D. May, and we celebrate that generosity by presenting Storm of Progress free of charge. This exhibition audio guide offers 16 expert commentaries. You will discover many different perspectives on German art narrated by the Museum’s modern and contemporary art curators. You will also hear from our curators of American art, decorative arts and design, and prints, drawings, and photographs, highlighting the collaborative nature of this collection and institution.
