• 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

  • Technically, the last day of summer isn’t until September 22, so we have a few days to go! 🍃 Let’s enter this scene from the summer of 1914. Gustav Klimt vacationed in Weissenbach, a village on the south eastern shore of the Attersee in the Salzkammergut lake region of Austria. Klimt lodged at the forester’s house and painted it twice that year. In this bucolic picture, he reveled in the interplay between the open and closed windows, which offer tantalizing vignettes into the house and beyond. A lush blanket of ivy covers the façade. The overall green tenor of the painting is punctuated by vivid spots of color introduced through blooming flowers in the garden and window boxes. Klimt’s passionate zeal for nature sustained him, and he found succor from the stresses of daily life and the requests of demanding clients through immersion in nature's revitalizing bounty. – Summertime is intended for fun and games, and we are delighted to introduce the “Forester’s House in Weissenbach II (Garden)” Jigsaw Puzzle just in time for the season finale. Create your own memories as you join Klimt in remembering that fond summer of 1914 by piecing together the lush flora, breezy open windows, and relaxing ambiance with our new puzzle. Available online at shop.neuegalerie.org. – Gustav Klimt, “Forester’s House in Weissenbach II (Garden),” 1914, oil on canvas. Neue Galerie New York.
