exhibition poster featuring Seated Woman (the Artist’s Wife) (1917) by Egon Schiele (1890–1918), published by the Louisiana Museum for the exhibition Vienna 1900 – Art and Design (1991). This landmark exhibition introduced Scandinavian audiences to the revolutionary development of modern art in Vienna.
The artwork portrays Schiele’s wife Edith and is also known as Seated Woman with Bent Knee. Schiele created numerous portraits of her in oil, watercolor, and drawing, capturing both intimacy and emotional depth.
Schiele is regarded as one of the most important early Expressionists, known for his raw, intense style, distorted figures, and bold exploration of human emotion and sexuality. A protégé of Gustav Klimt, he quickly developed a highly individual artistic language that set him apart from his contemporaries and made him a central figure in early 20th-century modern art.
The poster is in good condition and will be securely shipped, carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival. A highly collectible piece for admirers of Expressionism, Viennese modernism, and museum exhibition posters
