 notholes of wood aesthetically esteemed. During the 19th century in Europe
  these &ldquo\;faults&rdquo\; served as evidence for the doctrine at the h

 ood in expressionist art was celebrated not only as a primordial\, but als
 o as a distinctly &ldquo\;Northern&rdquo\; material. Referring to the nati
 onalization of the ubiquitous material\, artists such as Anselm Kiefer and
  the neo-expressionists disclosed the &ldquo\;language of wood&rdquo\; as 
 a Teutonic dialect. Presented in conjunction with a special display in the
  fourth-?oor galleries focusing on disparate objects made from or with woo
