Max Ernst: A Retrospective
April 7, 2005–July 10, 2005
Special Exhibition Galleries, The Tisch Galleries, 2nd floor
A founding member of the Surrealist group in Paris, German-born Max Ernst (1891–1976) was one of the most inventive artists of the 20th century. His paintings, steeped in Freudian metaphors, private mythology, and childhood memories, are regarded today as icons of Surrealist art. Comprising some 180 works, this exhibition—the first retrospective to be shown in New York in 30 years—includes his most important paintings, his celebrated collages, drawings, sculptures, and illustrated books lent by private and public collections in Europe and the United States.
The exhibition is made possible by ALTANA.
The exhibition catalogue is made possible by the Doris Duke Fund for Publications and the Mary and Louis S. Myers Foundation.
An indemnity has been granted by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
