Friends Lecture: Jane Kallir

Jane Kallir, a world-renowned scholar of Egon Schiele, will delve into Schiele’s life and art, with a special emphasis on works in Mia’s collection.    

In 1990, Kallir issued the first catalogue raisonné of Egon Schiele’s work in all media. In 1997, she gave her grandfather’s files on a stolen Schiele painting, Portrait of Wally, then on view at the Museum of Modern Art, to the New York Times. The resulting outcry prompted Austria to revise its restitution laws in 1998. 

Kallir remains a staunch advocate of responsible provenance research and has curated or co-curated exhibitions for dozens of museums worldwide. We’re honored to have her as our October speaker.
