Description
Paula Modersohn-Becker: Ich bin Ich / I Am Me marks the first full-scale presentation of the artist's work in the United States. Despite her significance to art history, Modersohn-Becker's paintings and drawings have appeared in group shows at museums and galleries. This exhibition, organized by Neue Galerie New York and the Art Institute of Chicago, brings together over 700 paintings and 1,400 drawings, showcasing her remarkable output. Modersohn-Becker's career was cut short at 31 due to a postpartum embolism, but she produced an impressive body of work, including over 700 paintings and 1,400 drawings. She is renowned for her self-portraits, particularly those that focused on her pregnancy, a subject rare among Western women artists. Her letters and diaries, including correspondence with Rainer Maria Rilke, also provide insight into her life and artistic vision. The exhibition's title, "Ich bin Ich" (I am Me), reflects Modersohn-Becker's statement of self-determination, which has become a defining aspect of her artistic legacy. This landmark exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore the life and work of this important artist.
