The Neue Künstlervereinigung München, abbreviated NKVM, (German: Munich New Artist's Association) formed in 1909 in Munich. The founding members were:- Wassily Kandinsky who initially proposed the group, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, Gabriele Münter, Adolf Erbslöh and Alexander Kanoldt. These principle figures came together to study in Munich in 1909 from many different areas of Painting.
The NKVM organised exhibitions in 1909, 1910 and 1911.
The first exhibition took place between the 1st and 15th of December 1909 in the Modernen Galerie Thannhauser gallery in Munich and showed about 128 works of members and guests of the NKVM, including Paul Baum, Wladimir von Bechtejeff, Erma Bossi, Pierre Girieud and Alfreds Kubin, as well as the founding members. It received mainly negative criticism from the local press.
The second exhibition took place from the 1st to the 14th September 1910 again in the Galerie Thannhauser. The group of the initial painters had been extended to include those of the Russian and French avant garde with; Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Alexander Mogilewski. It showed 115 works.
The third and final exhibition was from the 18th December 1911 to the 1st of January 1912 and again was held in the Galerie Thannhauser. Tensions among members of the group came to the fore when some of the group launched their own parallel show in the same gallery which lead to the establishment of Der Blaue Reiter group. The exhibition of the NKVM showed 58 paintings by the remaining members:- Erma Bossi, Wladimir von Bechtejeff, Adolf Erbslöh, Henri Matisse, Pierre Girieud, Alexej Jawlenski, Alexander Kanoldt, Mossey Kogan and Marianne von Werefkin. The parallel show of Der Blaue Reiter showed 49 works by Henri Rousseau, Albert Bloch, David Burljuk, Wladimir Burljuk, Heinrich Campendonk, Robert Delaunay, Elisabeth Epstein, Eugen von Kahler, Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Jean Bloé Niestlé and Arnold Schönberg.
The NKVM came to be regarded as a forerunner and pathfinder for Der Blaue Reiter and consequently Modern art in 1920's Germany.
