"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 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.
.
"Most of these works are very small-easy to hold in the hand, for Rauch to produce, and for the viewer to enjoy. Rauch relishes this intimacy and spontaneity, which he believes prevent formal issues of composition from taking over his process. Drawings can pour out uncontrolled, as opposed to his larger canvases where more measured thought is required to complete them." - from the Neo Rauch catalog essay by Jeff Fleming, Director of the Des Moines Art Center, and co-curator of this exhibition
