Museums

Nay’s works are represented in any number of museums in Germany and abroad. The earliest museum purchases were those of the Provinzialmuseum, Hannover (1927, CR 14), the Museum Behnhaus, Lübeck (1928, CR 57), and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin (1931, CR 81). After war’s end in 1945 many of Nay’s works were added to museum collections, primarily in Germany but also abroad. The most recent museum purchase was in 2019, when Stuttgart’s Staatsgalerie acquired the 1967 painting Yellow – Black – Red (CR 1237).
