The SecessionIn 1897, a group of modern artists founded the Vienna Secession., Their goal was to find ways in which to reflect modern life. In this, they opposed the conservative artistic trends prevalent in Vienna at the turn of the century. |
|
| Some pieces still on exhibition in the building were originally solely intended for the 1902 exhibition (like Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze) but were subsequently saved for the following generations. Part of the Secession building houses a fixed collection of modern art, among which the Klimt frieze is the most famous. On the other hand, there is a hall with changing exhibitions. |
