☆ A Reverse Art Heist? Museum Finds Employee’s Painting on Its Wall
  + stars: | 2024-04-10 | by ( Christopher F. Schuetze | More About Christopher F. Schuetze | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Unfortunately for the worker’s burgeoning art career, the ruse was discovered and the painting was removed from the wall. The museum and the worker agreed to part ways, the museum said. The man, a well-respected employee that the museum did not identify, was also banned from visiting his old workplace, the museum added. Adding to the aspiring artist’s troubles, the police said on Wednesday that they were investigating him for property damage — for drilling two small holes in the museum wall to hang his painting. The Pinakothek der Moderne has one of Germany’s largest art collections, with more than 20,000 pieces of art, including works by prominent artists like Max Beckmann and Pablo Picasso.

☆ For Max Beckmann, Art’s Ironist, Crisis and Rediscovery
  + stars: | 2023-11-10 | by ( Jason Farago | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Before the war (the First World War, I mean; with so many wars one can lose count), Max Beckmann was painting clean, traditionalist self-portraits and lush pictures of bathers by the sea. Otto Dix, Beckmann’s fellow ironist, enlisted at once and served in the artillery corps. “I have been drawing,” Beckmann wrote to his wife one evening, after a day caring for men who’d survived the trenches. Though he never served at the front, Beckmann had a nervous breakdown by the end of 1915. A revolution would come to Germany, as it had already come to Beckmann’s easel.

☆ ‘Max Beckmann: The Formative Years, 1915-1925’ Review: An Artist’s Several Selves

Installation view Photo: Annie Schlechter/Neue GalerieNew YorkThe name “ Max Beckmann ” evokes images of side-show stages crowded with ambiguous acrobats, Fisher Kings, mutilated women, bound and masked figures and the like, often in confrontational, over-sized triptychs. Are these mysterious people actors or nightmare personages? Torturers or the tortured? Emblems of larger issues? Add lush paint and intense color, and it’s not surprising that once seen, these works can haunt us.

☆ Self-portrait of artist who fled Nazis sells for 23 mln euros in Germany
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The auctioneers, in Berlin, had estimated that 'Self-portrait in yellow-pink', painted in 1943, would attract bids of between 20 million and 30 million euros. After the Nazis branded his paintings "degenerate art", Beckmann and his wife, Mathilde, known as "Quappi", fled Germany in 1937. Eventually a private collection in Switzerland purchased the painting before entrusting it to Villa Grisebach. A spokesperson for Villa Grisebach said the successful bid was 20 million euros and the remainder of the price covered fees. In 2018, Villa Grisebach obtained the highest auction price to date for a painting in Germany when it sold Max Beckmann's 'The Egyptian' for 5.5 million euros.
