The Neue Pinakothek (New Pinakothek) is an art museum in Munich, Germany. Its focus is European Art of the 18th and 19th century and is one of the most important museums of art of the nineteenth century in the world. Together with the Alte Pinakothek and the Pinakothek der Moderne it is part of Munich's "Kunstareal" (the "art area"). The new home of the Neue Pinakothek, opened in 1981. The museum was founded by the former King Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1853. The original building constructed by Friedrich von Gärtner and August von Voit was destroyed during World War II. The ruin of the Neue Pinakothek was demolished in 1949. Designed by architect Alexander Freiherr von Branca the new postmodern building opened in 1981. Ludwig began to collect contemporary art already as crown prince in 1809 and his collection has been steadily enlarged. When the museum was founded the separtation to the old masters in the Alte Pinakothek was fixed with the period shortly before the turn of the 19th century, which has become a prototype for many galleries. The delimitation to the modern painters displayed in the Pinakothek der Moderne was later fixed by taking the restart of Henri Matisse and the Expressionists into account (ca. 1900). Consequentially a painting of Matisse acquired by the "Tschudi Contribution" is displayed in the Pinakothek der Moderne. The so-called Tschudi Contribution in 1905/1914 led to an extraordinary collection of masterpieces of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Hugo von Tschudi, general director of the State Collections acquired 44 paintings, nine sculptures and 22 drawings, mostly from new French artists. But since public funds could not be used to purchase these works, Tschudi’s associates came up with the money from private contributions after his death in 1911. In 1915 the Neue Pinakothek became the property of the Bavarian state. A self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh was confiscated in 1938 by the Nazi regime as degenerate art and sold one year later.

Something quite special dwells beneath the surface of New Zealand and these images prove that the country is just as beautiful below ground as it is above! The Waitomo area is famous for it’s limestone caves and within these caves are one of the most magical insects in the world, the glowworm. Glowworms emit a phosphorescent glow that light up the cave and create a surreal environment. Over the past year I have been back and forth to Waitomo’s Ruakuri Cave to master the art of photographing these magnificent little creatures - it’s been quite the experience! When the headlamps are out and all you can see are the glowworms, you can’t help but feel like you’ve stepped into James Cameron’s Avatar Pandora, it’s just unreal! Photographing glowworms is very similar to shooting the night sky, however the exposure time can be much longer.

Annie Bendolph produced her quilt in 1930; thus, it is one of the oldest quilts in the Gee’s Bend collection. She is shown in a 1937 photo by Arthur Rothstein of the Farm Security Administration, which hired photographers to document rural life in America. The rug based on the quilt is very dimensional: the red areas are made of low loops, with raised, cut-pile white arrows. Hand-tufted rugs can be steam cleaned at home, making them ideal for children’s rooms or any area where your family sits on the rug. Barbara Barran has been working with the Gee’s Bend Quilters since 2003. She has shown and sold their work at over 25 US museums, paying the quilters a royalty for the use of their designs. She has visited Gee’s Bend, AL, several times and stayed at the home of Ruth Kennedy and Lucy Mingo. Working with the quilters has been the highlight of her design career. Custom Gee’s Bend Quilt designs and sizes are available. For more information, please write to info [!at] Classicrug.com or call us at 718-768-3338. I color matched each rug to the original quilt when the quilts were shown at the Whitney Museum. and I have made several trips to Gee's Bend during my years working with the quilters. These rugs have been shown and sold at over 20 US museums. To make this rug, a pattern is drawn in a reverse image on monk's cloth, and then each stitch is added by hand. When the complete pattern has been filled in, natural latex and jute are applied to the back, and the edges are turned under and secured with cotton canvas, so the rug is constructed of all-natural materials. There are no added chemicals. The rug is then sheared and by hand, and the edges are trimmed with a big pair of scissors. This is a top-quality rug that will give you years of use. The New Zealand wool will not pill or break off, and it does not have an odor, as many cheap wool rugs do. This rug should be vacuumed with a non-beater brush vacuum. Do not use a bagless cyclonic. Clean any spots with foam Resolve cleaner for wet spots and powdered Resolve for dry spots. The rug can be steam cleaned at home periodically, as needed. Please note, these are area rugs and not quilts. Because we do not know what happens to our merchandise once it arrives in the purchaser's home, we do not accept returns. Orders will be shipped promptly, usually within 1-3 days.
