Love. Art. Defiance.
Bauer is the true story of forgotten abstract artist Rudolf Bauer, peer to Picasso, Chagall and Kandinsky and beacon to Pollock and Rothko. The year is 1953 and Bauer hasn’t painted in 13 years, ever since he unwittingly signed a contract that gave ownership of all his past and future work to the Guggenheim Foundation. Bauer was poised to be the focal artist of the new Guggenheim Museum in New York City, however, the Guggenheim opened without a single Bauer on display. What happened to his paintings? What caused Bauer to set down his brushes and never paint again? A story of love and defiance, Bauer is a shocking and moving untold story of powerful art, powerful passion, and just as powerful downfall. In this case, life really is art.
“ A beautifully written play…Gunderson goes deep in her exploration of greed’s effect on love and art…it brings its audience to tears.” —New Yorker
