Opening this week at the Neue Galerie, New York is the exhibition Neue Sachlichkeit / New Objectivity (February 20–May 26, 2025), organized by Dr. Olaf Peters. The exhibition outlines the divided philosophies of the Neue Sachlichkeit: the unflinching and socially critical Verists, and the Classicists, who focused on harmony and beauty. “The show will offer a wide-ranging perspective, exploring the tension between the Verists and the Classicists, which will be illustrated through a multidisciplinary installation, featuring paintings, sculpture, photography, decorative arts, works on paper, and film.”

We are delighted to support this exhibition with a loan of twenty-five works. The paintings and drawings on loan are shown here. Additional multiples on loan will be highlighted in our next e-mail.
