About the Event
This program will focus on efforts in a restitution case to recover Egon Schiele’s Portrait of the Artist’s Wife (1917), a watercolor drawing the Nazi regime looted from the collection of Dr. Heinrich Rieger, a Viennese Jew whose unique collection of hundreds of avant-garde works was lost through the Aryanization of Jewish assets in the years leading up to World War II. The program will conclude with a Question and Answer period.
The conversation and conviviality will continue over dinner, afterward.
