The Neue Pinakothek, Munich
The Neue Pinakothek (New Picture Gallery), the first public museum in Europe devoted exclusively to contemporary art, was founded by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Ludwig took an active interest in contemporary art, especially German art throughout his reign
Alte and Neue Pinakothek Munich
The Alte and Neue Pinakothek in Munich rank among the great galleries of the world. Their comprehensive collections trace in detail the development of art from the Middle Ages through the periods of the Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, Realism and Impressionism up to the birth of Modernism.The Neoclassical design of the Alte Pinakothek by Leo von Klenze (1836) had a seminal influence on museum architecture in Europe and provides the setting for the Old Masters. After the second museum building (completed in 1853) was destroyed during the Second World War, the architect Alexander von Branca created today’s Neue Pinakothek (1981). Its formal expression, in the idiom of a medieval fortress, and impressive exhibition galleries have made it a classic of Postmodernism. In this book, the author offers a refreshingly personal perspective on an eclectic selection of memorable works from across the collections.
