4^th EGON SCHIELE SYMPOSIUM

DECEMBER 3, 2021, 9:45 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

 

Egon Schiele has become a name so familiar that it is almost imperative to revisit his art from time to time and also put unfamiliar perspectives on it. This is precisely what the Leopold Museum aimed for in the 4th Egon Schiele Symposium, whose speakers took approaches from different angles to the artist’s work and impact.

The contributions will be published in the conference volume for the 4th Egon Schiele Symposium, which will appear in summer 2022. The previously published conference volumes 1 (2017) and 2 (2018) as well as volumes 3 and 4, which both will appear in summer 2022, can be ordered or pre-ordered: symposium@leopoldmuseum.org.
