About this website
The works of Albin Egger-Lienz were well received from the beginning, not only by the public but also by art experts and consequently have always been documented and studied. Curt H. Weigelt published the first monograph on the artist as early as 1914. Others followed in 1925 (Giorgio Nicodemi; Josef Soyka) and in 1930 (Heinrich Hammer). In 1977, the painter and art publicist Wilfried Kirschl published the essential monograph with an extensive catalogue raisonné which brought about a reevaluation of Egger-Lienz as a modernist painter of European stature (New Edition in two volumes 1996). Another significant contribution came from the Viennese collector Rudolf Leopold who placed Egger-Lienz next to Klimt and Schiele at the center of his museum. Other extensive collections of the artist can be found at the Museum Schloss Bruck in Lienz and at the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck.
Even with this extensive literature, the exploration of the work of Egger-Lienz is certainly not finished. This website is intended as a continuation of Kirschl’s monograph from 1996 by providing an ongoing, digital catalogue raisonné. If you are in possession of an, to date, unknown work of the artist, we would be delighted if you would contact us regarding it.
