From Vienna to Amsterdam (ENG SUBS AVAILABLE) Gustav Klimt ft. Vincent van Gogh

Art from Vienna to Amsterdam. The Van Gogh Museum will take you on a trip to Vienna and show you a couple of Gustav Klimt’s masterpieces for our exhibition: Golden Boy Gustav Klimt. These amazing paintings will travel to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Our head of exhibition Edwin Becker is more than happy to tell you all the ins and outs of the career path and the inspirers of Gustav Klimt.

The exhibition Golden Boy Gustav Klimt will be on display from 7 October 2022 until 8 January 2023 in The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) is one of the most fascinating artists of western art history. He is world-famous for his golden and decorative paintings and his portraits of strong women. But who was this ‘golden boy’, and what is the story behind his talent? You perhaps know Klimt’s work, but have you actually seen it?

Dozens of Klimt's iconic masterpieces are on display in this large-scale exhibition: from decorative landscape paintings and powerful figure drawings to monumental, colourful female portraits such as Judith (1901), Emilie Flöge (1902) and spectacular paintings such as Water Serpents II (1904/1906-07).
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the life-sized reproduction of the Beethoven Frieze. Klimt presented this mural in the Secession in 1902 as an homage to Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven, the definitive cult figure of the new generation. The monumental Beethoven Frieze represents the start of Klimt’s ‘golden period’, in which he used gold leaf in his paintings.
