SOLD OUT – Neue Gallerie Degenerate Art Tour and Lunch at Demarchelier
This event is sold out. Contact events@columbiaclub.org with questions.
Avoid the crowds and sign up for a spot on a docent-led tour of this blockbuster exhibition of “Degenerate Art : The Attack on Modern Art in Nazi Germany,1937.” This is the first major exhibition devoted to the infamous display of modern art by the Nazi’s since the 1991 presentation at the Los Angeles Museum of Art.
Highlights include a number of works shown in Munich in 1937. The new movie, “The Monuments Men,” directed by George Clooney, indicates the level of interest in this subject. Among the art shown are paintings by Max Beckmann, Paul Klee , etc. dating from 1910.
Modern art was introduced to the USA in the 1913 Armory Show. The term “degenerate” was adopted by Hitler and his Nazi party as part of a campaign against modern art which included seizures of paintings from museums and private collections. Following the tour we shall take the short walk to the restaurant.
