Discover the bold spirit of Austrian Expressionism and the remarkable legacy of Otto Kallir, the visionary dealer who helped bring artists like Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt to global attention. At this panel in conjunction with the current presentation in the Modern Art Galleries, Jane Kallir, Nathan J. Timpano, and Timothy O. Benson, introduced by LACMA curator Stephanie Barron and moderated by Sabine Eckmann, will explore how Kallir’s passion for art and innovation shaped the course of modern art.
