Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus Munich [antikvár]

The international reputation of the Lenbachhaus, the villa that was formerly the residence of the 'prince of painters' Franz von Lenhach, is based on its unique collection of works by the 'Blue Rider' (Blauer Reiter) group. In addition, however, the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus also offers insights into nineteenth-century Munich painting. Largely due to its consistent policy of holding special exhibitions of contemporary art, the gallery has also made substantial purchases of works by significant representatives of more recent art during the last twenty years. 4 The History of the Building
