This exhibition presented rarely seen drawings by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, on loan from the Albertina Museum in Vienna, commemorating the centenary of their deaths. It explored the contrasts and connections between the two artists, particularly in their provocative depictions of the human body. Although separated by nearly 30 years in age and known for distinctive styles—Klimt's drawings more delicate, Schiele's more bold—both artists shared a mutual respect and a commitment to challenging artistic conventions through frank naturalism and emotional complexity. Organized thematically, the selection traced their academic beginnings and their respective departures toward more radical and unconventional explorations of humanity.

Label Design. Because the exhibition centered on visual study—examining similarities and differences between the two artists—we chose to take the labels off the wall entirely, creating a shelf beneath each grouping to hold all captions and tombstones. Section texts remained on the wall to establish the overall themes, but the goal was to give visitors time to look before they read.
