Obsession: Nudes by Klimt, Schiele, and Picasso at Met Breuer
Right now, The Met Breuer in New York is featuring an exhibition called 'Obsession: Nuder by Klimt, Schiele, and Picasso.' It showcases some really captivating paper artworks created by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Pablo Picasso. You can check it out until October 7, 2018. The show focuses on pieces from the lesser-known Scofield Thayer Collection, which has over 600 artworks that Thayer donated. He was an American publisher who lived in Vienna from 1921 to 1923 for therapy with Freud and collected works from then little-known artists Klimt and Schiele. This exhibition also marks the 100th anniversary of their deaths in 1918, coinciding with celebrations happening in Vienna.
