FRANZ XAVER MESSERSCHMIDT DOCUMENTARY FILM
We are proud to announce that we finalized a documentary film project on Franz Xaver Messerschmidt’s work and life. It is going to be on view at Neue Galerie New York between September 16, 2010- January 10, 2011.
The Franz Xaver Messerschmidt exhibition is one of the most anticipated shows in New York City and it will be the first exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to this major late 18th-century Austro-Bavarian sculptor. It will focus on the artist’s so-called “character heads,” among the most important works of sculpture from their era. The exhibition is organized by Guilhem Scherf, chief curator of sculpture at the Musée du Louvre.
