The exhibition ‘Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka and the Body in Contemporary Art’ is scheduled to open on 26 September 2026 at MUVEC – Casa delle Contemporaneità in Venice. It will remain on view through 14 February 2027.

Curated by Elisabetta Barisoni, the exhibition will examine the body in contemporary art through a starting point rooted in the artists associated with Viennese modernism: Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka.

The announcement describes Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka as symbolic figures of the Viennese Secession and presents them as the point of departure for the exhibition’s broader examination of the body. It does not provide further details about the contemporary artists, individual works, or the installation.

The event listing identifies MUVEC – Casa delle Contemporaneità as the venue. The announcement was circulated by Ca’ Rezzonico, a museum in Venice, but does not state that the exhibition will take place there.
