On this day in 1941, the Galerie St. Etienne introduced Egon Schiele to the American art world with the opening of the Austrian artist’s first stateside solo exhibition. In her review for the New York World, critic Emily Genauer wrote, Schiele’s art is going to prove a surprise to a great many gallerygoers. Featured in the show was the 1916 oil Portrait of an Old Man (Johann Harms). Called one of the most interesting of all contemporary portraits, the depiction of Schiele’s 73-year-old father-in-law was later gifted to the Guggenheim by our gallery founder Otto Kallir.

"Ms. Coe has been prescient about a lot of things in her searing social-political art. Her work can feel like a punch in the face or a call to action or both." Hilarie M. Sheets Sue Coe is profiled in latest Fine Arts & Exhibits special report of The New York Times, out today.
