The Vienna Secession presents in its exhibition rooms modern, young contemporary art, which does not shrink from the experiment. Connected to already established positions, the exhibition building follows the program of its first great artists.
Vienna Secession – Viennese Art Nouveau
“Time their art. Art for its freedom.” A modern art for the Vienna of the Fin du Siècle – the announcement of the construction of the Secession triggered a fire in the art scene in the world. The Viennese Secession, the achievement of a group of young Viennese artists, had decided to turn the small city of Vienna into an artistic center. Her work moved between reestablishment and counter-movement and was intended to raise classical Austrian art to an international level.
Gustav Klimt is seen as the soul of the Vienna Secession. Already in the early years Klimt was elected President of the Kunstaustellungshaus, which was considered a representative of the best of Austrian art and Austrian creativity.
Beethovenfries – Gustav Klimt
Beethoven frieze is a work of art that functioned as part of a secessionist work of art, a homage to Ludwig van Beethoven. Architecture, painting, sculpture and music worked together here, creating an ideal of combining different arts. Klimt’s Beethovenfries is still visible today.
