Vienna 1900 (Ciltli)

Poets and intellectuals brushed shoulders inbustling coffeehouses, young avant-gardists heralded a new era insocial and sexual liberalism, waltzes resounded through theRingstrasse, theVienna Secessionpreached: “To every age its art — to every art its freedom;” and tremors warned of loomingpolitical disintegrationwhen the Austrian capital passed into a new century.

Across economics, science, art, and music, Vienna blossomed into a “laboratory of modernity,” one which nurtured some of the greatest artistic innovators—fromEgon Schiele's unflinching nude portraits toGustav Klimt's decadentPortrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, from the ornamental seams and glass floors ofOtto WagnertoDitha Moser's calendars adorned in golden deities.

Discover the zeitgeist, the scandals, and the extraordinary protagonists in this introduction to a transformative epoch. Acrosspainting, sculpture, architecture, and design, we explore all the movers and shakers throughinsightful profilesandcrisp double-page reproductions. Marking the centenary of the deaths of some of its brightest talents, this collection joins Vienna in its2018 celebration of Modernism.
