The kiss seen on the Klimt gallery home page

Art Salon

May 21, 10:30

Gustav Klimt is the subject of our May Salon. Why is he still so valuable today. Oprah paid88 million for a painting and later resold for 150million! A luxury river-boat line has just designed the interior of a new ship based on Klimt’s Art.

Marilynn Davis spent time in Vienna in 2024, particularly at the Belvedere Museum where the majority of his work is on display.

Klimt is known for his decorative paintings, use of gold-leaf and erotic themes.he was one of the leading figures in the re-birth and modernization of Viennese culture in the early 1900s. Explore his volatile times. Are there parallels for today?
