In the early 20th century, when many artists played with abstraction, Käthe Kollwitz remained committed to an art of social purpose. "I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate," she wrote. "It is my duty to voice the sufferings of men, the never-ending sufferings heaped mountain-high." The first retrospective devoted to Kollwitz at a New York museum, this exhibition at the MoMA is the largest exhibition of her work in the US in more than 30 years.
Riva Blumenfeld is an art historian and educator with 40 years of experience in the art field. Riva was educated in Art History at Washington Univesity in St. Louis and has taught Art Education at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Having owned an art gallery in Soho for a short period, Riva has a unique knowledge of New York City's art scene and offers insight into the sometimes-intimidating world of New York City's art galleries. Prior to the pandemic, Riva conducted small group tours of NYC's art world.
