In New York, the Schiele exhibition "Living Landscapes" opened at the "Neue Galerie N. Y." museum - designed by Christian Bauer, curator of the Egon Schiele Museum in Tulln: "The exhibition puts the landscapes of Lower Austria at the center of New York's Museum Mile!"

"Central works by the artist from museums and private collections in the USA, Europe and Asia allow a new look at the subject of landscapes, which was the most central theme of Schiele's life," said the Tulln museum. "Egon Schiele's greatest love was nature," said Christian Bauer, explaining the theme of the show. The artist was at least as important a landscape painter as he was a portrait painter. His landscapes certainly have human traits: "Sunflowers and autumn trees appear as portraits."

Reneé Price, founding director of the Neue Galerie New York, thanked Bauer, "who curated the exhibition and was able to convince numerous lenders". "Egon Schiele: Landscapes" will be shown from October 17, 2024 to January 13, 2025 at 1048 Fifth Avenue in the "Ronald S. Lauder Neue Galerie New York" as a museum for German and Austrian art. The exhibition follows the show "Klimt Landscapes" in spring 2024.
