Gustav Klimt back at Lake Attersee

The Klimt am Attersee association opens new exhibition
Schörfling. In 2012, on the 150th birthday of Gustav Klimt, the Klimt Centre on Lake Attersee was opened, and the associated museum is a crowd-puller on the northern shore of Lake Attersee. After a break of one season, the Klimt Centre is presenting a new exhibition that will enrich the cultural offerings surrounding the world artist Klimt.

Gustav Klimt and Lake Attersee have a long history. The world-famous artist spent his summer holidays at Lake Attersee between 1900 and 1916, where he created numerous masterpieces inspired by the region.

The Klimt am Attersee association is in charge of preserving the cultural heritage of ‘Gustav Klimt am Attersee’ and is creating a cultural meeting point for regional visitors and international guests with the new Klimt Centre.

The centre opens its doors again with the exhibition title: ‘Paths to Modernism. Gustav Klimt and Franz von Zülow’. The presentation of works by Gustav Klimt will be complemented this season by exhibits by Franz von Zülow. He was one of his contemporaries, whose painterly ceramics form a contrast to Klimt's sensual symbolism. The Attersee-born artist Heinz Kasper builds a bridge to the present. His light installations reinterpret Klimt's well-known works Water Snakes and Tree of Life. Parts of the exhibition are reorganised each year, curated by Raphaela Hemetsberger in cooperation with OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH. Due to conservational circumstances and high insurance values, a small selection of originals by Gustav Klimt will be on display. The focus is on the documentation of Klimt's stays at Lake Attersee combined with new research findings. The inclusion of Klimt's companions and contemporary artists, with whom the Klimt Centre will be collaborating in the future, is intended to give the exhibition a broader scope. The reference to Klimt and his work at Lake Attersee will remain a focal point in relation to modernism.

In addition to the exhibition, there is a varied cultural programme on Lake Attersee during the summer months, such as the Klimt theme trail, the Klimt garden, numerous guided tours and events on land and water.
The Klimt Centre is operated by the Klimt am Attersee association and the project is supported by the federal government, the state and the European Union as well as the Regatta Leader Region.
