At the age of seven, she moved to Vienna with her parents. From 1881, she took lessons from the sculptor Josef Raab, then from Alois Delug. In 1888, she exhibited her works for the first time at the International Art Exhibition in Vienna. In the same year, the artist went to Munich for two years. After her return, she set up a studio on Piaristengasse and married the doctor and physicist Hugo Koller. The couple had Josef Hoffmann renovate a country house they had purchased in Oberwaltersdorf in 1904. It subsequently became a popular meeting place for artists and intellectuals such as Zülow, Mahler, Broch and Schiele. In 1908, Koller became a member of the "Kunstschau-Gruppe" and took part in their exhibitions. The lively exchange with artistic personalities such as Schiele and Gütersloh, as well as several trips within Europe from 1914 onwards, enabled her to intensively study the artistic trends of the time. Although her work has often been the target of severe criticism, she is now considered one of the most important Austrian artists.
