VIENNA, 21st August 1918.

Dear colleague!

I have been invited by the Nassau Art Association Wiesbaden to organize an exhibition of works by new Austrian artists. I ask you to place a small collection of your works at my disposal, one that will be sufficient to fill an exhibition room. Please send these paintings between 5th and 15th September to the forwarding agency E. Bäuml, Vienna’s 1st district, Kantgasse 2.
Considering the large expenses associated with this exhibition, a 25% commission will be deducted from the proceeds of any work sold. The Nassau Art Association will receive the usual percentage, while the rest of the money will be used to cover the exhibition expenses, which will be disclosed latest 3 months after the closing of the exhibition in a detailed statement.

Please fill out the enclosed registration form and send it latest by 1st September to: Gustav Nebehay, Vienna’s 1st district, Hotel Bristol “Altes Haus” [Old building], which is also the address for all other enquires.

Kind regards

[Written by Egon Schiele:]
