In 1923, Otto Kallir founded the Neue Galerie in Vienna's city centre, where he organised the first major Egon Schiele exhibition. Kallir became an internationally renowned art dealer, promoting artists such as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Alfred Kubin in the United States.
In 1932, following the dissolution of the Wiener Werkstätte, Otto Kallir acquired a large number of perfectly preserved Oskar Kokoschka postcards directly from their inventory. We have succeeded in acquiring a large number of postcards from this collection. The Wiener Werkstätte postcard No. 157 is one of them.
