Vienna 1900: Birth of Modernism Online
Zoom only.
Art Talk With Mary Vahey
Americans today associate the name Neue Galerie with New York’s Museum of Austrian and German Art, founded by Ronald Lauder in 2001. However, the New York museum has a historical namesake, Otto Kallir’s Neue Galerie, which opened its doors in Vienna in November 1923. The Neue Galerie represented Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and, most especially, Egon Schiele. After the Nazis annexed Austria in 1938, Kallir, a Jew, was forced to flee. He and his family ended up in New York, where Kallir’s Galerie St. Etienne (established in 1939) introduced Klimt, Schiele, and the other principal Austrian modernists to the United States.
