Egon Schiele
Exploring approximately one hundred works, Egon Schiele presents a comprehensive approach to the great Austrian Expressionist’s universe through a selection of drawings, gouaches, and watercolors from the Albertina, Vienna. The exhibition traces a course through Schiele’s oeuvre and stylistic evolution, examining early works created while he was attending the Akademie der bildenden Künste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Vienna, pieces he created while influenced by Gustav Klimt and Viennese Secession, and his departure from naturalism through a radical treatment of color to the use of new, disconcerting motifs, such as explicit, erotic nudes.

Inhabited Architecture
This exhibition examines art from the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in order to conceive of the occupation of space as a place full of existing narratives or narratives yet to be created. Exhibiting selected collection works for the first time at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Inhabited Architecture presents Liam Gillick’s How are you going to behave? A kitchen cat speaks (2009), Doris Salcedo’s Untitled (2008), Mona Hatoum’s Home (1999), Pello Irazu’s Life Forms 304 (2003), and Cristina Iglesias’s Untitled (Alabaster Room) (Sin título [Habitación de alabastro], 1993).
