Description: Munich-New York: Prestel, 2013. 30cm., hardcover, 372pp., 250 color illus. Revised edition. Summary: The Blue Rider is one of the main attractions at the Lenbachhaus for art lovers and tourists. The famous gallery in Munich has been closed for several years for restoration and expansion; the long awaited re-opening will commence in May 2013. The fully state-of-the-art renovation has been designed by the internationally renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners. Not only will the Lenbachhaus present these masterpieces in a whole new light, but the visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy a fully-renewed, modern museum space. Although it only lasted three years—from 1911 to 1914—the collaborative force of German and Russian artists that made up the Blue Rider had an amazing impact on the development of Expressionist art and, as a result, on modern art as a whole. This publication looks at the history of this group from the early beginnings to its dissolution as a result of the First World War. The publication shows the works of art displayed in the Lenbachhaus, famous for housing the most extensive and finest collection of works by this group, as well as photographs of the artists. The Blue Rider in the Lenbachhaus Munich will be published on the occasion of the re-opening in spring 2013. This volume will be a thoroughly revised edition of the catalogue featuring the Blue Rider artists in the Lenbachhaus, published by Prestel in 2000.
