Max Beckmann & I.B. Neumann
From
1912 to 1930 Israel Ber Neumann (1887–1961) was Max Beckmann’s dealer
and friend, called by the artist his “ur-manager.” After emigrating to
New York in 1923, he laid the foundations of Beckmann’s popularity in
the U.S.A. after World War II. He first sold prints and drawings by the
artist, then, deeply impressed by Self-Portrait with Red Scarf, (1917),
paintings as well.
Edited by Ursula Harter and Stephan von Wiese,
the volume will contain both the complete correspondence between
Beckmann and Neumann and “Sorrow and Champagne,” the chapter devoted to
the artist in Neumann’s unpublished autobiography “Confessions of an
Art Dealer” (1959). The book will be published by Verlag Walther König,
Cologne.

Beckmann’s
sketchbooks in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and in
private and other public collections are being catalogued for publication. With Prof.
Dr. Dr. Gerd Presler, Weingarten
A catalogue raisonné of the
extremely important collection of fifty four sketchbooks, which contain approximately
1,300 used pages, very few of which have been published before. Every
page is illustrated and the artist’s works and notes are discussed in
light of existing source material and literature. Including detailed
indexes of places, persons, works, and subjects, the volume is destined
to become a major resource for research into Beckmann’s life and work.
