LACMA Secures Landmark Gift of Austrian Expressionist Works from the Kallir Family

Egon Schiele, Sawmill (1913). Courtesy of the Kallir Research Institute, New York The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) recently announced a major gift of more than 130 works of Austrian Expressionism from the family of Otto Kallir, the visionary art dealer and historian who played a crucial role in bringing Austrian and modern European art to international prominence. Kallir founded the legendary Galerie St. Etienne in Vienna in 1923 and, after fleeing Nazi persecution, reestablished it in New York in 1939. One of the first galleries entirely devoted to Austrian modernism, it became the primary force behind the posthumous recognition of Egon Schiele. Sign Up For Our Daily Newsletter...
