Neue NationalgalerieHardcover, 30 September 2021

The Neue Nationalgalerie, which was
erected in 1965-68, is the only building by the architect Ludwig Mies
van der Rohe in Germany from after the Second World War. With its steel
roof over the glass-walled exhibition hall and its reduced design
vocabulary, it is regarded as an icon of modernism and as the legacy of a
visionary master builder. Following the restoration by the firm David
Chipperfield Architects, the Neue Nationalgalerie is reopening with new
glory in 2021. With numerous specialist texts and large-format
photographs, the book focuses on the architecture of the museum in three
thematic groups: the historical building, the fundamental restoration,
and the renovated building. Detailed and large-format photographs
heighten awareness of the unique architecture, which Mies van der Rohe
designed down to the smallest detail.
