Neue Galerie New York celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the museum this year. The latest presentation of "Austrian Masterworks from the Neue Galerie" features highlights from the museum's extensive collection of Austrian art from the period 1890 to 1940, including major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Egon Schiele.

The exhibition shows "crown jewels" of the Mucha Family Collection, the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of Mucha's work in the world, this exhibition contains over 200 artworks, some of which have never been exhibited before. It looks at the development of Mucha both as an artist and as a man: as a Czech, a European and a world citizen, living through one of the most turbulent times in European history - with lessons that are perhaps more relevant today than ever before.

Featuring a vibrant selection of colour woodblock prints from the collection of the Two Red Roses Foundation; this exhibition includes master artists such as Eliza Draper Gardiner, Frances Gearhart, Edna Boies Hopkins, BJO Nordfeldt, Margaret Jordan Patterson, and many more. "American Arts and Crafts Woodblocks" tells the story of how artists of the time experimented with this medium to make unique and personal interpretations of this technique.

The exhibition presents an outstanding collection of Arthur Wesley Dow's eclectic artwork from the Two Red Roses Foundation. This exhibition features over 60 works including color woodblocks, paintings, and original cyanotypes from the rare Ipswich Days album.

A revered painter, printmaker, photographer, and educator, Dow studied in Paris and taught extensively from the 1880's through the 1910's. As an art educator, Dow's ideas on art were centered on the democratic nature of artistic expression, that art should be part of everyday life and not just enjoyed by the few. His 1899 book Composition: A series of Exercises in Art Structure for the Use of Students and Teachers, teaches students to create harmonious works of art through the elements of the composition, such as line, balance, and color. Dow's many students include photographer Alvin Langdon Coburn, painter Georgia O'Keefe, and the Overbeck sisters, whose works in pottery you can see on MAACM's fourth floor. Dow's Composition is still taught today using his theories of space and design, and his legacy ripples through artistic expression through the 19th and 20th centuries.

The exhibition creates an opulent tableau that offers uniquely rich and complex insights into the fascination of Vienna circa 1900 and the atmosphere of this vibrant period. Comprising some 1,300 items displayed across three floors, this semi-permanent installation presents the splendour and wealth of the artistic and intellectual achievements of this era through masterpieces from the Leopold Museum and notable permanent loan works from Austrian and international collections.
