This small-format show, produced as part of the new arrangement of the museum´s collection, is an exploration of Science and Charity, painted by Picasso in 1897. The canvas is an emblematic work from the artist´s early years. The subject matter falls into the genre of Social Realism that was so prevalent in the more conservative artistic circles of the second half of the nineteenth century and follows the line of works shown at the main art exhibitions of the 1890s.

This October, the Neue Galerie New York will present the first major museum exhibition ever held in the United States devoted exclusively to the postcards produced by the Wiener Werkstätte. The show is drawn exclusively from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection and coincides with the gift to the Neue Galerie of nearly 1,000 postcards produced by the firm during the period 1907-1920.

The international symposium "Perception of Art Nouveau" offers an overview of the history of Art Nouveau from its heyday (1880-1920) - which brought it as many admirers as detractors, as articles and caricatures testify - to its rediscovery by artists and intellectuals (1930-1950). It is also assessed from an economic and tourist point of view.
This event is included in the framework of Belgian´s Presidency of the European Union.
