“As detailed in Andrew Shea’s fascinating documentary Portrait of Wally, Egon Schiele’s haunting 1912 painting of his mistress and favorite model Wally Neuzil had a complicated, extremely dramatic history as well as a legal and cultural significance that can’t be overestimated…By showing how difficult and problematic righting a wrong can turn out to be, Portrait of Wally does itself proud.” Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Works like a suspense drama! A painting’s provenance matters, and so does this portrait of Portrait of Wally.” Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Portrait of Wally


Directed by Andrew Shea

In 1939, Nazis seized control of Austrian art collector Lea Bondi's beloved Egon Schiele painting "Portrait of Wally." For 70 years the Bondi family fought to reclaim the painting in a battle that pitted them against the likes of the Austrian government, billionaire art collectors, MoMA, and NPR. Director Andrew Shea's documentary is a fascinating and intricate detective story that highlights the struggle between doing what is right and doing what is convenient.
