Bauer (play)

Bauer is a play by Lauren Gunderson. It had its world premiere in March 2014 at the San Francisco Playhouse, the same theatre that commissioned it. Based on the life of the German painter Rudolf Bauer, the play tells the story of how, after having arrived in the United States of America at the beginning of World War II, Bauer was tricked by fellow German artist and love of his life, Hilla von Rebay, into signing a contract that gave Solomon R. Guggenheim the legal rights to all of his paintings and any future works he created. The play triggered a retrospective of Bauer's work at the Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco.
