## Caption

"Neo Rauch: Aus Dem Boden/ From the Floor" is on view in our Main Gallery and Drawing Room. Wed-Sun 12pm-6pm | Thurs 12pm-8pm. This is the first exhibition entirely devoted to his drawings in the United States. Featuring more than one hundred fifty never or rarely seen works that span over thirty years of Rauch’s career, this exhibition presents drawing as an essential but often overlooked aspect of his oeuvre.
.
The character studies are sketchy, quick jottings that are all about placing figures into situations and landscapes. Works like “Tantentäuscher” (2006), with a man sucking on a floating udder, and “Fischer” and “Brille” (both 2009), with men wearing strange headgear, tend to be deeply psychological and generally unflattering to their subjects. They are like tests to see if these people can stand up to these visual “humiliations” to join the pantheon of characters in Rauch’s pictures.
