Richard Serra
Richard Serra was an American minimalist sculptor renowned for his monumental works in weathered Cor-Ten steel—towering curved walls, leaning plates, and spiraling forms that transform architectural space and demand physical navigation by the viewer. His 1981 public installation Tilted Arc in New York City became one of the most contentious episodes in the history of public art when it was removed following a public outcry, raising lasting questions about site-specificity and censorship. He is widely considered one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter and protégé of Gustav Klimt, celebrated for his raw, emotionally charged depictions of the human body in contorted, often confrontational poses. His work pushed past the decorative aesthetics of Viennese Symbolism into territory that was explicitly erotic and psychologically unsettling, earning both scandal and acclaim during his short life. He died at just 28 during the 1918 influenza pandemic, leaving behind a legacy of intense self-portraits that remain enormously influential.
