So she paid $235,000 for a small, century-old bungalow in the waterfront city of Bellingham, Wash., where she had gone to college.

The military uniforms hang from the walls—stiff, battered, empty but overflowing with dead rose petals. A 24m-long new mural by the post-war German artist Anselm Kiefer, crowning the staircase of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, illustrates the words of a 1950s anti-war song: Sag mir wo die Blumen sind, or Where have all the flowers gone?

The Austrian artist Egon Schiele was only 28 when he died in 1918, but he left behind about 400 paintings and around 3,000 works on paper—more than many artists produce in a lifetime twice as long.
