The Neue Gallery

Neue Galerie New York is a museum devoted to early twentieth-century German and Austrian art and design, displayed on two exhibition floors. The second-floor galleries are dedicated to art from Vienna circa 1900 (e.g.Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Richard Gerstl, and Alfred Kubin) and the decorative arts (created at the Wiener Werkstätte by such well-known figures as Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Dagobert Peche, and by such celebrated architects as Adolf Loos, Joseph Urban, and Otto Wagner).The third-floor galleries feature German art representing various movements of the early twentieth century (e.g.Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, August Macke, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter etc...)

Here are some drawings from that space.

Here is the gallery on the 2nd floor.  The painting in the middle is Klimt's painting of Adele Block-Bauer I, Woman in Gold.  It is beautiful and famous.  But the gallery was also beautiful with the moldings and the parqueted floors. 

Here are some drawings of a beautiful crystalline clock.  

Here is a drawing of a staircase and flower centerpiece.  The iron work on the railing echoed the centerpiece.  Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of time to sketch as I was in the middle of a high-traffic area.

 Here is a drawing of a chandelier.   It reminds me of water lilies and rivulets in a pond.  Gentle and peaceful without being stagnant.
