Library & Archive

The Kallir Research Institute owns and administers the former library and archives of the Galerie St. Etienne. The library contains many key art-historical publications on Expressionism and self-taught artists, including hard-to-find catalogues raisonnés.  Its holdings on Egon Schiele and Grandma Moses are unrivaled. The archives document the Galerie St. Etienne’s commercial activities over a period of more than 80 years, and also include exhibition correspondence and the research materials used to compile the Richard Gerstl, Grandma Moses and Egon Schiele catalogues raisonnés.

The library and archives may be visited by qualified researchers upon appointment. The KRI plans eventually to digitize these materials.
