Exhibition at the Neue Galerie, New York, 11 November 2021 - 13 March 2022

Published on the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Neue Galerie New York, this exhibition catalogue celebrates the varied achievements of modern art history in the German-speaking world by examining historical developments in Austria and Germany from 1890 to 1940.

Richly illustrated, this book considers the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche and his writings on the fine arts and examines the founding of the Secessionist artists' organizations in Germany and Austria.

From well-known artists such as Otto Dix, Josef Hoffmann, Vasily Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele, to lesser recognized but equally important figures, including Albert Birkle, Alfred Kubin, Felix Nussbaum, and Dagobert Peche, this book offers an authoritive and kaleidoscopic look at a crucial moment in history.
