London 1963

"Since 11th of April 2008 the Albertina Vienna is showing the most important of Kokoschka's later works. With the exhibition "Exile and New Home" the Albertina makes a comprehensive presentation of yet another - after Egon Schiele - pioneer of Austrian art. The show is a continuation of the "late works" series initiated with Picasso. Like Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka is one of the artists whose oeuvre constitutes a special research focal point of the Albertina. The exhibition concentrates on Kokoschka's years of emigration and his search for a new country in which to live and work. Some 140 works are on view, including 45 from the Albertina's own collection."
