CELEBRATING AN ARTISTIC LEGACY
With world-famous works like The Kiss and Pallas Athene, Gustav Klimt’s artistic canon, particularly figurative works and paintings from his “golden phase,” helped establish a new aesthetic in the Austro-Hungarian Empire that reflected the changing times and the emerging modernist movement. By blurring the boundaries between art and design, he and the other Secessionists significantly impacted the development of modern art. Klimt’s entire oeuvre served as the inspiration behind this remarkable collection.
