Yes, it is in German. I don't speak German but, having studied French for years, I spent a weekend with Cassell's German -English dictionary and the book. Those compound nouns in German are real mind-benders! There was no way to link or footnote it that I could figure. I didn't try to over-interpret and I can't remember more than what I wrote at this point. Again, so lovely to hear from you.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-33590582825151531462018-01-16T07:42:13.274-08:002018-01-16T07:42:13.274-08:00https://news.artnet.com/art-world/the-egon-schiele...https://news.artnet.com/art-world/the-egon-schiele-catalogue-raisonne-will-soon-be-accessible-online-1147052<br /><br />I hope this link works for you. It is an article in "Artnews" from November 14, 2017. It says that the catalog raisonne of Egon Schiele's work is or soon will be available online. The Portrait of Miss Waerndorfer is in a private collection so the catalog may answer your question. Good luck with it. Do let me know if you find an answer! <br />I still regret that my mother told me stories about her family when I was quite young but by the time I was interested our relationship was tense and she rook the position that these people were her family, not mine. Sad. Much good luck to you in your researches.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-56306220598529855282018-01-15T17:16:55.550-08:002018-01-15T17:16:55.550-08:00I'd love to hear more about that rumor.

"Wien...Hello and Welcome, Charlie's Kid. <br />"Wiener Werkstatte" by Gabriel Fahr=Becker) published by Taschen Books, was very informative and it led me to other sources from there. What interesting lives these people led.<br /> Hope this information is useful.

One of my regular readers just returned from a trip that included Vienna.

(Rumor is that some child chopped and burned all the Mackintosh furniture,)The gesso panels were hidden behind a false wall in the basement of the MAK museum in Vienna, and there it stayed until being discovered in the 1990s.<br />It now hangs in the museum and is absolutely breathtaking,go and see it, it's worth the trip..........Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424973999226092458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-91905690771665808682013-07-12T06:23:36.792-07:002013-07-12T06:23:36.792-07:00Rouchswalwe, sad but this became a terribly common...Rouchswalwe, sad but this became a terribly common occurrence during the Nazi period. The Gallia collection from Vienna was also dispersed, but some of it did end up at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. The Henneberg residence in the Hohe Warte section of Vienna was severely damaged during WW II. And that's just off the top of my head.<br />Fortunately, at this late date, the Neue Galerie in New York City is giving us the chance to see Secession and Werkstatte works that landed on U.S. shores.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-68140254319176766852013-07-11T15:53:51.328-07:002013-07-11T15:53:51.328-07:00How sad that the collection was dispersed.

You warmed my heart with your two posts on the Vienna Secession, so I went back to my scheduled post on the Vienna Secession and posted it today.<br /><br />So timing might be serendipitous, but timing is everything :) Thank you.<br /><br />Hels<br />http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/arts-and-crafts-vs-vienna-secession.html Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-57204259032475597682013-07-05T06:28:12.951-07:002013-07-05T06:28:12.951-07:00Marina, thank you, also.
