  • This year, the #ConnoisseurPass has gone digital, and you are cordially invited to join us as we journey online to three of New York City's gembox museums, The Frick Collection (@frickcollection), The Morgan Library & Museum (@themorganlibrary), and Neue Galerie New York (@neuegalerieny). Today we invite you to visit the Morgan on IGTV to dive into the world of Belle da Costa Greene. – A black woman from Washington D.C., da Costa Greene ran the Morgan for forty-three years — nineteen as a private librarian, and twenty-four as the inaugural director of the museum. Not only did she build one of the most important collections of rare books and manuscripts in the United States, but she also transformed the private collection into a major public resource, originating the robust program of exhibitions, lectures, publications, and research services that continues today. – See our #InstagramStory for more! – Belle da Costa Greene in Pierpont Morgan's Library, Image courtesy the Morgan Library & Museum. – #MorganLibrary #NeueGalerieNY #NeueGalerie #FrickCollection

  • This year, the #ConnoisseurPass has gone digital, and you are cordially invited to join us as we visit three of New York City's gembox museums online. This is a nod to an ongoing tradition: The Frick Collection (@frickcollection), The Morgan Library & Museum (@themorganlibrary), and Neue Galerie New York (@neuegalerieny) join together every year to offer a ticket that provides one-time admission to each museum. The three institutions share similar origins: all were founded by private collectors, occupy intimately scaled buildings of national historic prominence, and remain dedicated to maintaining their unique missions. Virtual #ConnoisseurPass offers an excellent opportunity to experience each museum's contribution to New York City's rich cultural heritage online. – See our #InstagramStory for more! Tune in over the next few days to explore the rich range of offerings available at each museum .– Image courtesy the Morgan Library & Museum; Image courtesy The Frick Collection; Image courtesy Neue Galeire New York. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #MorganLibrary #FrickCollection

  • Happy Rosh Hashanah! We wish all who celebrate a happy and sweet beginning to the year 5781. 🍎🍯 – Bursting with color, with the bold red of the apples and the colors of the flowers that carpet the ground below the tree, Gustav Klimt’s “Apple Tree I” (ca. 1912) is filled with happiness, with life, with fertility, with the bounties of nature. In religious depictions, the apple tree has its own complex associations, and Klimt was very aware of these implications. Does this make “Apple Tree I” a religious painting? Or does Klimt use these traditional associations only to demonstrate to what extent he is celebrating nature and existence, trumpeting the wonders of nature and of the world? – This splendid painting was restituted to the heirs of Adele and Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer by the Republic of Austria in March 2006. In April of that year, Neue Galerie New York presented it in the exhibition "Gustav Klimt: Five Paintings from the Collection of Ferdinand Bloch-Bauer." The painting was later sold by the Bloch-Bauer heirs at Christie's, and it is now held by a Private Collection. – Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), “Apple Tree I,” ca. 1912, oil on canvas. Private Collection. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #GustavKlimt #RoshHashanah #AppleTree #ApplesAndHoney
