Neue Galerie New York
Neue Galerie New York is a museum devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. The collection of artwork from Vienna in the early 20th century explores the unique relationship between the fine arts (Richard Gerstl, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Egon Schiele) and the decorative arts produced at the Wiener Werkstätte by well-known individuals like Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche, as well as by renowned architects like Adolf Loos, Joseph Urban, and Otto Wagner.
The German art collection features works from several early 20th-century movements, including the Bauhaus (Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer), the Blaue Reiter and its circle (Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, August Macke, Franz Marc, and Gabriele Münter), the Brücke (Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt- (Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Wilhelm Wagenfeld).
Serge Sabarsky, an art dealer and curator of museum exhibitions, and Ronald S. Lauder, a businessman, philanthropist, and art collector, came up with the idea for the Neue Galerie New York over the course of a close friendship that lasted for close to thirty years. They both had a deep love for Modern German and Austrian art, and Sabarsky and Lauder envisioned establishing a museum to house the best examples of this art. Following Sabarsky's passing in 1996, Lauder continued his plan to establish Neue Galerie New York as a memorial to his friend.
