Experiment Expressionism - Schiele meets Nosferatu is a comprehensive, cross-genre exhibition on Expressionism. Important works from the Heidi Horten Collection act as a starting point of the exhibition that is curated by Agnes Husslein-Arco, Rolf H. Johannsen and Roland Fischer-Briand. In particular works by the Expressionist painters Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde and Max Pechstein, among others. These artists are shown in context with works by Austrian Expressionist painters like Herbert Boeckl, Helene Funke, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Oppenheimer, Egon Schiele, Helene von Taussig and others.

The exhibition is dedicated to the work of three artists—Balthasar Wigand, Rudolf von Alt, and Stefan Oláh—and their engagement with the city of Vienna. Spanning two centuries, this exploration begins with Wigand, whose most significant works were created around 1820, it continues with Rudolf von Alt, the quintessential "chronicler" of 19th-century Vienna, and concludes with Stefan Oláh, who has revisited the city from diverse perspectives for over two decades.

Vienna, Vienna, only you adopts the vantage points of his predecessors, revisiting their locations and capturing, through his photographs, how the city and its surroundings present themselves today. The selection of subjects is far from random. It is guided by Wigand’s exquisite Vienna miniatures, set into opulent cassettes, and by five outstanding watercolors by Rudolf von Alt.
