The first film that will be presented at 2pm will be Portrait of Wally, Egon Schiele’s tender picture of his mistress, Walburga (‘Wally’) Neuzil, is the pride of the Leopold Museum in Vienna. But for 13 years the painting was locked up in New York, caught in a legal battle between the Austrian museum and the Jewish family from whom the Nazis seized the painting in 1939. The Desert of Forbidden Art is the incredible story of how a treasure trove of banned Soviet art worth millions of dollars is stashed in a far-off desert of Uzbekistan develops into a larger exploration of how art survives in times of oppression. |
