Barnett Newman: The Stations of the Cross—Lema Sabachthani

About the exhibition

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum presented Barnett Newman: The Stations of the Cross—Lema Sabachthani in 1966. Fourteen individually titled Stations of the Cross were presented with the coda Be II, bringing together Newman’s sustained series of paintings. Exact surviving examples are Barnett Newman’s Be II (1961/1964; acrylic and oil on canvas) and Barnett Newman’s First Station (1958; Magna on canvas). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
