[3] Under Kallir’s direction in 1980, the Galerie St. Etienne initiated a regular program of museum-scale loan exhibitions, a practice not then common among commercial galleries.
In addition to writing scholarly texts to accompany the Galerie St. Etienne’s exhibitions, Kallir became known for her annual “Art Market Reports.
The Galerie St. Etienne is a longstanding member of the Art Dealers Association of America, which Kallir served as Vice President from 2003-2006.
Kallir has organized over 50 museum exhibitions in the United States, Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and The Netherlands.
She has published nine volumes on Egon Schiele, including the artist’s catalogue raisonné,[8][9] and seven studies on other aspects of fin-de-siècle Austrian art.
Kallir’s writings also include four volumes on Grandma Moses, as well as Richard Gertle Oskar Kokoschka, which accompanied an exhibition at Galerie St. Etienne in New York City in 1992.
Both the Elie Faure Award and the Prix des Lecteurs de Beaux-Arts Magazin were given in 1991 for Egon Schiele: The Complete Works.
The KRI is planning a digital update of the Moses catalogue raisonné, and Jane Kallir provides opinions regarding the authenticity of works not included in the 1973 edition.
As a result, the Austrian Parliament in 1998 issued a decree reopening the claims process for State museums, and in 2010, the heirs of the original owner of Portrait of Wally received a settlement of $19 million.
