Austrian Art Loans Canceled

A dispute between the Albertina Museum and the Austrian government has led to the cancellation of hundreds of loans worldwide. These include “the cancellation of the Schiele exhibition at the Royal Academy in London, following the dropping of the Dürer show at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Loans of individual works have also been withdrawn from other venues, including major shows in Paris, Berlin and Ottawa. So far over 400 promised loans have been banned from leaving Austria.”
