The St. Gallen Historical and Ethnological Museum opened in 1921, and this richly illustrated catalog marks the 100th anniversary of its opening, with in-depth insights into the subject of Klimt and the community in which he was immersed. The art metropolis of Vienna shows some striking parallels to St. Gallen around 1900. This was a time of embellishment that dominated everything, bringing about changes in the cityscape and enabling a lively artistic and cultural life. In Vienna it was the last phase of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a heyday for architecture and fine arts. Architects like Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos dominated the scene, and painters like Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele had a decisive influence on art life. The art of the Vienna Secession and the Austrian Art Nouveau are no strangers to St. Gallen. Especially in the embroidery and fashion industry, which is so important for St. Gallen, they continue to provide artistic inspiration to this day. An important new arrival, which we are proud to be making available.
