To celebrate the exhibition “Paula Modersohn-Becker: Ich bin Ich / I Am Me,” which is now on view, Neue Galerie New York hosted a drawing contest, inviting artists to submit a self-portrait and interpret what it means to be “me.” The contest jury selected eight winning works of art for public display at the museum. Please join us in celebrating the winners and thanking all who participated with a submission. Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is a major figure in the history of German Expressionism. In her brief career, she produced more than 700 paintings and around 1,400 drawings, and many of her works were self-portraits.
