"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. . The drawings, which Rauch describes as “dreams on paper” are made during periods of intense painting activity and are left on the floor of the studio for his assistant to pick up and place in the flat files for storage. Rauch, who never makes preparatory sketches or drawings before he begins painting, uses the medium instead to mine his own subconscious and to visualize characters and scenarios for the works in progress. His drawings range from thumbnail compositional sketches for paintings to phone doodles, to figure and landscape studies, and to more formal and completed works. . #NeoRauch #onview #drawingcenter .
