[citation needed] Abels d'Albert received a private education in Fine Arts in Vienna.

[1] She decided early to become a professional artist: at the age of 16 she participated in a group show[2] (contributing portraits, nudes, still lifes and fashion designs).

In subsequent years she participated in exhibitions at various galleries, at the Imperial and Royal Museum of Art and Industry, at the Temple of Theseus in the Volksgarten and at the Vienna Künstlerhaus.

[citation needed] Erika Abels d'Albert died in Paris in 1975.

The Vienna Museum owns her oil painting Strassenbahnschaffnerin from 1919, and in the Albertina are a charcoal drawing, Kopf einer Frau in mittleren Jahren (1924), and a chalk drawing, Sitzender Rückenakt (1921).
