Gabriele Münter, an Overshadowed Pillar of Modern Art, Gets a Spotlight
The New York Times••general
Key Points:
- The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is currently hosting "Gabriele Münter: Contours of a World," an exhibition focusing on the artist's early influences and alliances rather than her later, more vibrant use of color.
- The show is spread across three galleries on two floors, requiring visitors to exit and re-enter the exhibition space, and includes a notable selection of Münter's early black-and-white photography from the late 1890s and early 1900s.
- Münter, a Berlin-born artist (1877), was a key figure in 20th-century expressionism and had a significant partnership with Wassily Kandinsky, whose work dominates the Guggenheim's collection, often overshadowing Münter's contributions.
