Paula Modersohn-Becker: Ich Bin Ich / I Am Me
"ICH BIN ICH / I AM ME" is the first museum retrospective in the United States celebrating the work of Paula Modersohn-Becker. Despite being a major figure in German Expressionism, her work has only appeared in group shows or at the museum in her hometown. She is known for her self-portraits, particularly her nude self-portraits, which are thought to be the first nude self-portraits publicly attributed to a woman. Despite dying at 31 because of a postpartum embolism, Modersohn-Becker produced more than 700 paintings and over 1,000 drawings in her lifetime. Some of them dealt with themes that were novel to Western art history at the time, such as pregnancy.
The exhibition marks a collaboration between Neue Galerie New York and the Art Institute of Chicago, where the exhibition will travel following its debut.
