Founded in 1939, the Galerie St. Etienne is the oldest gallery in North America specializing in Austrian and German Expressionism. It introduced the work of such artists as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele to the United States and facilitated the first American museum acquisitions of their work through sales or donations. The Galerie St. Etienne also specializes in self-taught art and Art Brut, including such well-known American artist as Grandma Moses and Henry Darger, and is the exclusive representative of the renowned contemporary artist Sue Coe. With a long-established reputation for scholarship, the gallery has curated exhibitions for the Museo del Vittoriano in Rome, the Österreichische Galerie in Vienna, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and many other museums in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. Co-director Jane Kallir is the author of over a dozen art books, including the catalogue raisonné Egon Schiele: The Complete Works (1990; expanded edition, 1998).
