Egon Schiele: The Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky Collections

Edited by Renée Price

While his explicit nudes and self-portraits created controversy in Europe and America, his skill as a draftsman and his artistic passion unquestionably made Austrian Expressionist Egon Schiele one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. In addition to presenting superb reproductions of the more than 150 paintings and drawings in the exhibition, this catalogue traces the history of Schiele's reception in the American art world. It offers fascinating information concerning Schiele collectors, promoters, critics, and followers, as well as the exhibitions, public acquisitions, publications, and other projects that have taken place in the United States. Essays pertaining to Schiele's life in Austria, the lost Schiele collections, and the censorship of the artist during and after his lifetime round out this stunning volume.
