Neue Galerie, Museum for German & Austrian Art
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 1048 Fifth Ave. @ 86th St., Manhattan, NYC, NY. High definition + HDR merger… ✎ The museum is housed in the former William Starr Miller House, a Louis XIII/Beaux-Arts structure originally constructed for the industrialist William Starr Miller (completed in 1914). The museum was first conceived by two close friends: art dealer and museum exhibition organizer Serge Sabarsky, and entrepreneur, philanthropist, and art collector Ronald S. Lauder. The two men shared a passionate commitment to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design. They met in 1967. Almost immediately, the gallery earned a reputation as New York’s leading gallery for Austrian and German Expressionist art. Lauder was a frequent visitor and client. Over the years, the two men discussed opening a museum to showcase the very best work from the period. When Sabarsky died in 1996, Lauder chose to carry on the task of creating Neue Galerie New York, as a tribute to his friend. The museum has its own web page here. |
