Gustav Klimt and the Artist-Compagnie

The exhibition focuses on the development of Klimt and the Artists Company with some 50 exhibits (including canvases and works on paper), beginning with Klimt’s earliest work and extending through the modern period. As part of its permanent collection, the Belvedere has prepared a selection of works by the Company as well as unique pieces by Gustav Klimt, Ernst Klimt and Franz Matsch, within the context Historicist art.

Central works include Gustav Klimt’s Fable (1883) and early portrait of Sonja Knips (1898), Franz Matsch’s depiction of his children Hilda and Franzi Matsch (1901), as well as paintings by the Company from Peles Castle in Sinaia, which are being shown outside of Romania for the first time. The research conducted in preparation for the exhibition and for a catalogue raisonné of Gustav Klimt’s paintings has for the first time been able to clearly identify the contributions of individual artists to the Company’s collective works.
