On the second day, June 10, the symposium will meet in Neulengbach, where, in addition to further lectures and discussions, joint excursions to important original sites of Schiele’s life in 1911/12 are on the agenda. The detailed program of the symposium can be read and downloaded here:
The EGON SCHIELE RESEARCH SOCIETY (ESRS) was founded as a research society in Vienna in spring 2015 by members of the international editorial team of the EGON SCHIELE JAHRBUCH (ESJB), which has been published since 2011. The ESRS has been registered in the official Austrian Central Register of Associations with the ZVR number 411442208 as an association based in Vienna since June 5, 2015. However, the ESRS’s activities are not limited to Austria, but are also active internationally.
According to its statutes as amended on May 26, 2015, this non-profit research society is dedicated to the planning, coordination and implementation of research and teaching on the work of Egon Schiele (1890-1918), the culture of fin-de-siècle Vienna (around 1900) and early Austrian and European modernism.
In particular, the ESRS is now taking over the editorship of the previously privately edited EGON SCHIELE JAHRBUCH (ESJB) from the previous editors. However, they will remain as the editorial team of the ESJB on behalf of the association and both the content and the ethical orientation of the yearbook will continue unchanged.
The organization of the International EGON SCHIELE RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM, which has been held annually since 2012, will now also be taken over by the ESRS.
