KLIMT, gold in motion

The exhibition invites visitors to discover a century of Viennese painting through the dazzling works of Gustav Klimt. Visitors are taken on a tour of imperial Vienna at the end of the 19th century, where Klimt was one of the great decorative painters of the sumptuous monuments on the Ringstrasse. At the turn of the new century, he became the leader of the Viennese Secession, an artistic movement aimed at profoundly transforming art, paving the way for modern painting. His works, characterised by the use of gold and decorative motifs, are projected onto walls and floors, creating a luminous and teeming decor that is awe-inspiring.

Looking back over 100 years of Viennese painting, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on Klimt and his successors through the portraits, landscapes, nudes, colours and gilding that revolutionised Viennese painting.

On show very soon at the Port des Lumières, Hambourg
