Gustav Klimt and the Artshow of 1908

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most prominent works in the Belvedere collection. It was first presented to the public in 1908 at the Kunstschau (Art Show). The Kunstschau was organised by the Klimt Group, including Josef Hoffmann, Kolomann Moser and several other artists. One of the highlights of the exhibition was “Raum 22” an entire room dedicated exclusively to the works of Gustav Klimt where besides portraits, landscapes and allegories, The Kiss was presented. Now, one hundred years later, it is our goal to convey the fascination felt by the public in 1908 at the Kunstschau 1908 to our twenty-first century public. The show will include works from the Belvedere Collection as well as from major international collections.
