IN-SIGHT: Gustav Klimt. The Bride
In 1917, the last year of his life, Gustav Klimt began to create one of his largest paintings, the allegory The Bride. Due to his surprisingly early death in February 1918, the work remained unfinished in his studio at Feldmühlgasse 11 in Vienna-Hietzing. This painting forms the centerpiece of the current exhibition at the Oberes Belvedere, curated jointly by Sandra Tretter (Klimt Foundation, Vienna) and Franz Smola (Belvedere, Vienna).
