Angelus Novus

0 upcoming performances in New York

At The Jewish Museum, *Angelus Novus* appears in a live program that follows the image’s path from interwar Berlin to its later home in Jerusalem. The work began as a small 1920 monoprint by Paul Klee, made with his oil-transfer process, and it carries the compressed, private syntax he built while working in Germany. In New York, its significance is less about premiere history than about how a single sheet became a durable reference point for exile, interpretation, and institutional custody. The angel reads like a document that refuses to settle into one meaning.
