"In 2018, when an old house in Prague was torn down, a stash of almost 700 works of art by Gertrud Kauders tumbled out of its walls and ceiling, more than 70 years after she had died in an extermination camp. Several of those paintings are now on display at the Jewish Museum in New York City, where renewed galleries offer fresh narratives of the Jewish diaspora."
"Located in the historic Felix M. Warburg House on Manhattan's Upper East Side, the museum reopened its third and fourth floors on 24 October after a yearlong renovation. With a combined area of 20,000 sq. ft-half the building's public space-the redesign was led by United Network Studio in Amsterdam and New Affiliates Architecture in New York. The $14m project is a significant milestone for James Snyder, the director of the Jewish Museum since 2023."
In 2018 an old Prague house yielded nearly 700 artworks by Gertrud Kauders, hidden in walls and ceilings since her death in an extermination camp. Several of those paintings are now on display at the Jewish Museum in New York City. The museum reopened its third and fourth floors on 24 October after a yearlong, $14m renovation led by United Network Studio and New Affiliates Architecture. Redesigned galleries present thematic juxtapositions of centuries-old artifacts, Abstract Expressionist works, and contemporary pieces including queer and multicultural voices. The fourth floor adds the Robert and Tracey Pruzan Center for Learning with studios, tactile installations, and a simulated dig for children.
