Egon Schiele's Portrait of Wally Now on Display - Only Opportunity to See it in the U.S.

A woman looks at the 1912 painting 'Portrait of Wally' by Egon Schiele which is on temporary display at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, New York, USA, 29 July 2010. The painting has been subject of a recently settled court case in which the United States ruled for a settlement agreement between the Bondi Jaray estate and the Leopold Museum as a result of a series of events starting with the painting having been stolen from the Bondi Jaray estate by Nazis in 1939. As part of the settlement, the painting will be on display for three weeks at the museum before being placed on permanent display at the Leopold Museum in Vienna. EPA/JUSTIN LANE.

NEW YORK, NY.- After a long awaited settlement regarding the Portrait of Wally, a 1912 oil painting by artist Egon Schiele, the painting will be on view to the public at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust from July 29, 2010 through August 18, 2010 before it is placed on display at the Leopold Museum in Vienna. The Museum of Jewish Heritage was chosen to host the painting by the Bondi Jaray estate who wanted "a setting that would memorialize the suffering of so many in the Holocaust and the resilience and resolve of those who escaped and/or survived." Museum Director Dr. David G. Marwell said, "We honor the memory of victims of the Holocaust every day at this Museum and we remember the millions who, while they may have themselves survived, lost their communities, families, homes, and property. While they can never recover what they have lost, it is important to set some things right when at all .
