Retrospective of works by Egon Schiele

This autumn, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Spain) will present an exhaustive exhibition which features around ninety pieces by Egon Schiele from the Albertina's collection of graphic work, which will offer sweeping vision of the art of this great Austrian Expressionist. In his creations, Schiele employed processes such as the decorative use of flat surfaces and the flowing ornamental lines of the Vienna Secession style to develop a highly personal, unique form of Expressionism. For this reason, one section of the show is dedicated to another genre which he favored: the self-portrait.     

The Vienna Albertina boasts one of the world's largest and most important collections of works on paper, with approximately 50,000 drawings and watercolors and around 900,000 graphic works from the late Gothic period to the present day. The collection's modern section features works by Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock, and the more recent Robert Rauschenberg.

Dates: from October 2.
Location: Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Avenida Abandoibarra, 2 48001 Bilbao. Biskaia. Spain.
Opening hours: from Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 8pm.
