Cofounder of the Neue Galerie, Ronald S. Lauder, divides art into three categories: the “Oh,” the Oh my,” and the “Oh my God.” Devotion to the latter category guided Lauder’s acquisition choices and the resulting extensive collection of OMG art. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the Neue Galerie, some 400 pieces of Lauder’s collection were crowded into seven small galleries, upending the museum’s usual focus on German and Austrian art. On public view for the first time, the Ronald S. Lauder Collection had a MoMA-like feel with van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso thrown in for diversity.

Meant to evoke Ronald Lauder’s library, the Neue’s Galerie’s installation of Cezanne’s painting Man with Crossed Arm is right at home brooding above a row of helmets.
