  • Heinrich Kuehn was originally planning a career in medicine. His first serious engagement with photography began around 1888, when he took microscopic photographs for diagnostic purposes at the school of medicine in Innsbruck. His career in photography quickly took off, and he was among the first important photographers to create color images. Kuehn’s strong scientific background enabled him to experiment freely with photographic techniques, particularly the gum bichromate process, which allowed for a liberating choice of pigment and paper. – #TBT This work was featured in our 2012 exhibition, “Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen.” – Heinrich Kuehn, Edeltrude and Lotte, 1912-13, autochrome.

  • Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay, which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on January 27, 1945. We must #NeverForget what happened, and the millions of people who perished. Felix Nussbaum’s self portraits convey the horrible conditions he endured while housed in an internment camp. Nussbaum managed to escape, but clearly sensed that his freedom was threatened. One of the last works he painted, “Self-Portrait with Jewish Identity Card” (ca. 1943), literally shows the walls closing in around him as his hope fades. – Felix Nussbaum (1904–1944), Self-Portrait with Jewish Identity Card, ca. 1943, oil on canvas, 56 x 49 cm (22 x 19 1/4 in.). Felix-Nussbaum-Haus Osnabrück, loan from the Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung.

  • Yesterday we shared a sketch by museum visitor @patricia.chow.usk - and many of you were curious about the posters that served as her inspiration! – This Kunstschau Wien 1908 Poster, which hangs in Café Sabarsky, was designed by Berthold Loeffler. Loeffler's work for the Wiener Werkstätte was diverse, including commercial graphics, jewelry, ceramics, posters, calendars, costumes, postcards, and bookplates. He contributed designs to both the Cabaret Fledermaus and the Palais Stoclet. For the Cabaret Fledermaus, Loeffler designed various objects and graphics, including posters, brochures, a badge for the staff, fans, and leather goods. Loeffler also contributed ceramic tiles and figurines. – #NeueGalerie #NeueGalerieNY #BertholdLoeffler #WienerWerkstatte #NeueSketch
