Gustav Klimt:
Gustav Klimt, a leading figure of Viennese Secession and co-founder of the Viennese Secession, is known for his opulent, decorative works that combine symbolism and decorative art in a unique way. His paintings, such as “The Kiss” and “The Golden Adele,” are iconic for their use of gold and silver leaf and lush patterns that draw the viewer into a world of sensuality and mystery. Klimt’s preference for rich decoration and ornamental surfaces recalls the works of Gustave Moreau and the Symbolists, who likewise explored the fusion of reality and fantasy in their work.
A central influence on Klimt’s art was Byzantine art, particularly the mosaics of Ravenna, whose golden splendor flowed into his “Golden Phase.” This phase connects him with artists such as Antoni Gaudí, whose architecture also possesses a decorative, almost organic quality. Klimt’s fascination with line and ornament shows parallels to Aubrey Beardsley, whose Art Nouveau illustrations are known for their flowing lines and decorative elements. Additionally, Klimt’s work bears influences from Japanese Ukiyo-e prints by artists like Utagawa Hiroshige, whose flat pictorial spaces and decorative compositions left a lasting mark on his style.
In his later works, Klimt moved toward a freer, more expressive style that bears similarities to the early Expressionists Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka, both artists who were strongly influenced by Klimt. Klimt’s innovative fusion of figuration and decoration has profoundly influenced modern art and is reflected in the work of artists such as Egon Schiele, who further developed Klimt’s emotional intensity and ornamental elements. Klimt’s legacy lies in his ability to blur the boundaries between fine art and decorative art and to create a universal language of sensuality and symbolism that continues to inspire artists far beyond his time.

Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
