Art of Enterprise: Israhel van Meckenem’s 15th-Century Print Workshop

Discover parallels between the business of 15th-century printmaking and today’s branding practices in Art of Enterprise: Israhel van Meckenem’s 15th-Century Print Workshop. The exhibition will be the first in the United States to present new research about the role Israhel van Meckenem (German, 1440/1445-1503) played in developing printmaking as a fine art and will feature more than sixty objects that place his important engravings alongside images he copied from his contemporaries, including Master ES, Martin Schongauer and Albrecht Dürer. The exhibition explores the business of printmaking in the late 15th century, focusing on Israhel’s operation of a productive workshop during the initial rise of printed text and images in Europe. The engravings in the exhibition highlight Israhel’s primary audiences and the ways they used engravings. The exhibition will also explore his strategic use of materials like paper and copper, as well as the development of new products, including intricate ornamental designs, engraved indulgences, scenes of everyday life and the earliest printed self-portrait.

Chana Orloff: Sculpter l’époque

This exhibition traces the career of an extraordinary artist, born in Ukraine to a Jewish family who emigrated to Palestine and came to Paris in 1910 to train in haute couture. In contact with the artists of Montparnasse, Chana Orloff abandoned her first profession to devote herself exclusively to sculpture, and quickly became one of the most sought-after portrait artists of her time. From the artist's beginnings in Montparnasse to the revival of her sculpture after 1945, the chrono-thematic tour brings together the work of Chana Orloff and that of Ossip Zadkine, focusing on themes that both artists explored at different periods in their lives, such as the portrait and the human figure, the female body and bestiary.

Mark Rothko: Paintings on Paper

Joy, despair, ecstasy, tragedy: these are some of the themes that Mark Rothko sought to express in his luminous art. Rothko is renowned for his towering abstract paintings on canvas, but few people know that he also created nearly 1,000 paintings on paper over the course of his career. He viewed many of these as finished paintings in their own right—not simply preliminary studies intended for his own eyes. These remarkable works challenge our expectations about what “counts” as painting, as well as popular ideas about Rothko and his career. This exhibition brings together more than 100 of Rothko’s most compelling paintings on paper, many on view for the first time. They range from early figurative subjects and surrealist works to the soft-edged rectangular fields, often realized at monumental scale, for which Rothko is best known. Together, these radiant, rarely displayed paintings transform our understanding of one of the preeminent artists of the 20th century.

Venezia 500: Die sanfte Revolution der venezianischen Malerei

The exhibition is devoted to the groundbreaking innovations in Venetian Renaissance painting, with lasting effects that resonated far into European modernism. It presents fifteen masterpieces from the Munich collection and around seventeen international loans, focusing on portraits and landscapes from the first half of the sixteenth century as the most eloquent examples of the characteristics and achievements of the flourishing Venetian school. The leading masters brought a previously unprecedented intensity to their explorations of the essence of humanity and nature. This explains the attraction and the relevance of these portraits and landscapes, which will be presented in themed groups and in juxtapositions of drawings and sculptures that address the contexts of their creative origins and contemporary readings. Works by Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Palma Vecchio, Lorenzo Lotto, Titian and Tintoretto are on display: their subtle representations of individuality oscillate between the real and the ideal, between representative and lyrical portraits, and their atmospheric landscapes quickly became established as pictorial motifs in their own right.
