除了音乐、文学、历史,莱比锡也成了当代美术中心。早在东西德统一的1990年以前,这里的废旧工业区Plagwitz就成了众多艺术家陆续开设工作室的地方,并开创了所谓的新莱比锡画派(Neue Leipziger Schule)。最著名的代表要属尼奥·劳赫(Neo Rauch)。他是土生土长的莱比锡人,是当代最受关注的德国画家之一。如今他的超现实主义作品扬名世界,而且多以天价售出。



'Paranoia', oil on canvas painting by Neo Rauch, 2007


Neo Rauch (born 18 April 1960, in LeipzigEast Germany) is a German artist whose paintings mine the intersection of his personal history with the politics of industrial alienation. His work reflects the influence of socialist realism, and owes a debt toSurrealists Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte, although Rauch hesitates to align himself with surrealism. He studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig, and he lives in Markkleeberg near Leipzig, Germany and works as the principal artist of the New Leipzig School.[1] The artist is represented by Galerie EIGEN + ART Leipzig/Berlin and David Zwirner, New York.
Rauch's paintings suggest a narrative intent but, as art historian Charlotte Mullins explains, closer scrutiny immediately presents the viewer with enigmas: "Architectural elements peter out; men in uniform from throughout history intimidate men and women from other centuries; great struggles occur but their reason is never apparent; styles change at a whim."[2]
