Between September 1936 and January 1939, Esquire: The Magazine for Men commissioned George Grosz (1893-1959) to create illustrations for articles and short stories. Moeller Fine Art Berlin will exhibit 50 of these rare and never-before-seen drawings alongside the accompanying stories, highlighting a vital, though little-known aspect of the artist's oeuvre. The illustrations are biting satires on American life, exhibiting a mastery of the expressive line, a cruel wit, and a penetrating intelligence. The drawings appear here in public for the very first time.

Some of our friends and colleagues may have been wondering why they did not find Moeller Fine Art at Art | 41 | Basel. We would like to clarify that we were invited but chose not to participate this year. In December we will exhibit at Art Basel Miami Beach with our established program of modern masters, and we hope to be present again at Art | 42 | Basel in 2011. 

In the meantime, we invite you to visit our New York and Berlin galleries. Exhibitions will be held throughout the summer including works by Paul Klee, Alexej von Jawlensky, Vassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Mark Tobey, Lyonel Feininger,  Giacomo Balla, and Gino Severini. Due to popular demand, our George Grosz, Esq. exhibition has been extended until August 7. We look forward to seeing you!

Moeller Fine Art is pleased to present a special exhibition of paintings by T. Lux Feininger in honor of the artist's 100th birthday.

T. Lux Feininger was born on June 11, 1910 in Berlin, the youngest son of Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956). Together with his family he moved to Weimar in 1919, where his father had been appointed Master at the Bauhaus. Between 1926 and 1929, he studied under Josef Albers, Vassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar Schlemmer at the Bauhaus in Dessau. Though initially a photographer, he turned to painting in 1929 and developed a pictorial language all his own.

In 1936, the artist immigrated to the United States. In 1947 he had his first solo exhibition at the Julian Levy Gallery in New York, followed by successful teaching posts at Sarah Lawrence College (1950-52), Harvard University (1953-62), and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (1962-75). T. Lux Feininger wrote of this experience: "The interrelationship between subject-matter and form has for me been the real fascination of painting from my early days on. Clarity regarding this traffic between sensuous and intellectual attitudes came to me by way of teaching on the adult level, and this again led me to explore formal geometrical relations for a while."

Moeller Fine Art is exhibiting 11 paintings executed by the artist between 1931 and 1988. This coincides with the exhibition at Kunsthalle zu Kiel, Germany, entitled "Welten-Segler. T. Lux Feininger zum 100. Geburtstag, Werke 1929-1942" , June 5 - August 28, 2010, and "T. Lux Feininger zum 100. Geburtstag. Fotografie am Bauhaus" at the Kunst-Kabinett Usedom, Benz, Germany, opening June 11, 2010.
