Deep Space LIVE: Egon Schiele – A closer look at Trude Engel
Thursday, March 15, 2018 / 7-7:45 PM (LENTOS tour to follow)
(Linz, February 26, 2018) Art history garnished with a pinch of mystery awaits audience members at Deep Space LIVE on Thursday, March 15th at 7 PM. Andreas Strohhammer, an art historian and restorer, will present gigapixel images of Egon Schiele’s “Portrait of Trude Engel” and provide fascinating insights into the image’s history, whereby a knife, digital x-rays and puzzling outlines in the area of her forehead play an important role. Immediately following this Deep Space LIVE, visitors can take a close-up look at the original during a guided tour of the “1918 – Klimt Moser Schiele” exhibition at the LENTOS.
