In honor of its one hundredth anniversary, this book brings together a comprehensive overview and analysis of one of the most important institutions in the development of modernism, the Vienna Secession. Founded by Gustav Klimt in 1897, the Vienna Secession -- like the Berlin and Munich Secessions of the same time -- represented a flowering of new movements in art and architecture, at a time when the heterodoxy of high modernism was still vehemently disdained. As the home of Art Nouveau and "Jugendstil", and as an exhibition center which presented such figures as Matisse, Rodin, Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso, the Secession has had a profound influence on art and culture, and does to this day -- exhibiting Beuys, Gilbert and George, and many others in recent times. This book contains essays on the Secession's importance, and features a wealth of photographs of both the art that has shown there, and the building itself.
