In 1890, her first major exhibition was held there. Blau exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. [4]
After her husband's death, she spent ten years travelling in Holland and Italy. [2] After her return, she established a studio in the Rotunde. [5] In 1897, together with Olga Prager , Rosa Mayreder and Karl Federn , she helped found the "Wiener Frauenakademie ", an art school for women, where she taught until 1915.
She spent her last summer working in Bad Gastein, then went to a sanatorium in Vienna for a medical examination. She died there of cardiac arrest. [5] She was given an "Ehrengrab" (Honor Grave) in the Zentralfriedhof. [6] The Vienna Künstlerhaus auctioned off her estate and held a major retrospective in 1917. [7]
