"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.

“During lunch I asked him what “from the floor” would translate to in German. He said, “aus dem Boden,” and then explained that this phrase could be interpreted in several ways—from the soil or from under the attic (Dachboden). I told him I was thinking of calling the show “Aus dem Boden / From the Floor” and we agreed that since most of the drawings that I was looking at came from the floor of his studio—and given the ambiguity of the term in German—that this would be a good title for the exhibition.” - From exhibition co-curator Brett Littman’s essay in the catalog, “Neo Rauch: Aus dem Boden/ From the Floor”
