GUSTAV KLIMT. Artist of the Century
22.06.2018 – 04.11.2018

The Leopold Museum is dedicating a comprehensive exhibition to the “artist of the century” Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) during 2018’s commemorative year of Viennese Modernism. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Klimt’s death, the presentation impressively retraces his artistic transformation from a painter espousing late historicism to becoming the most eminent exponent of the Vienna Secession.
