‘Art is a line around your thoughts’
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian painter and a founder of the Vienna Secession. Defined by a rejection of traditional artistic norms and of academic styles, the movement was an ascendance of decorative arts. Klimt’s practice was characterised by lavish symbolic imagery, eroticism and an interplay between figurative and abstract elements with an art nouveau style.
Klimt has had several major international retrospectives and large-scale exhibitions at renowned venues such as Tthe National Gallery, London (2013), the Neue Galerie, New York (2016, 2024), the Leopold Museum, Vienna (2024) and the Tate, Liverpool (1992). His work is held in most major collections internationally such as the Belvedere, Vienna; the Leopold Museum, Vienna; the Metropolitan Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York and the National Gallery, London.
