MARCH Paul Klee was, by the 1910s, one of the leading figures within the European modernist movement. His acclaim in Europe was quickly paralleled in the United States, where both private collectors and major museums sought out his works. Paul Klee and America at the Neue Galerie addressed the enthusiastic reception for the artist's work in the United States, especially during the 1930s and 40s. It also illustrated the connections between the avant-garde art of Klee and the art of the ancient Americas. Klee and America featured more than sixty paintings and drawings by Klee, with loans from private and public collections in the United States and abroad.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art presented the exhibit Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh. Hatshepsut, the great female pharaoh of Egypts 18th Dynasty, ruled for two decadesfirst as regent for, then as co-ruler with, her nephew Thutmose III (ca. 14791458 B.C.). During her reign, at the beginning of the New Kingdom, trade relations were being reestablished with western Asia to the east and were extended to the land of Punt far to the south as well as to the Aegean Islands in the north. The prosperity of this time was reflected in the art, which is marked by innovations in sculpture, decorative arts, and such architectural marvels as Hatshepsuts mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri. In this exhibition, the Metropolitans own extensive holdings of objects excavated by the Museums Egyptian Expedition in the 1920s and 1930s are supplemented by loans from other American and European museums, as well as by select loans from Cairo.
