Rudolf Bauer (Rudolf Bauer) 1889-1953

[Seriy]

Upon arrival in America, Bauer lives with Ribey and then perezzhaet one of the houses the Guggenheim in Deal, New Jersey, near New York. At this time, he signed a prepared Ribey contract with the Guggenheim Foundation, confident that it considered all its conditions, T e, he will receive 300,000 dollars for his 110 paintings that are already in the Fund and will maintain a scholarship from the Fund. Bauer did not understand English.
In fact, the agreement stated that 300 thousand for the picture Bauer does not receive cash but the money goes to the trust fund and are paid a monthly stipend to Bauer, he bought this house, a car of his own design, but all the work he buduyuschie must pass into the ownership of the Fund.
Bauer felt that after a Gestapo prison, he got into another, albeit gilded. As a reaction, he ceased to paint and never took up his brush to the end of his life. Relations with Ribey deteriorated sharply and he even filed for Ribey to court for insulting his wife (married in 1944).

 In 1949 Solomon Guggenheim died. Ribey excluded from coaching.
In 1953, Bauer died of lung cancer.
The entire collection of non-figurative art is sent to the store and
1959 Solomon Guggenheim Museum opens without a single work of Bauer on their walls.
Two decades of a single work of Bauer does not appear at the shows, he is in oblivion. Since the end of 1960 begins a slow return to Bauer in the history of art and museum-exhibition turnover.
 In 2005, the Guggenheim Museum holds a memorial exhibition -
Art of Tomorrow: Hilla Rebay and Solomon R. Guggenheim - on the Hill Ribey and Solomon Guggenheim with a large number of works of Bauer. In 2007, in San Francisco, Weinstein Gallery organized a retrospective of Bauer, who publishes a monograph.

That such a fate.

In addition to abstraction Bauer drew a lot of graphic work - genre scenes from the life of Weimar Germany, cartoons, nudes. Due to storage without accessing the world, they have survived in excellent condition.
Abstraction Bauer wrote on cardboard, canvas, on paper.

Oil now costs several hundred thousand dollars, gouaches from 6 to 11 thousand compared with Kandinsky impossible. Returns a score with respect to Kandinsky Bauer is the same as in the lives of both?
