The art of the popular Viennese artist Gustav Klimt will be celebrated in several special temporary exhibitions in Vienna (Wien) during 2012. The Belvedere Gallery, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Leopold Museum, and the Albertina have numerous Klimt works in their permanent collections but all will stage special 150-years commemorative exhibitions on Gustav Klimt in 2012. The Belvedere, home to the largest single collection of Klimt oil paintings, will arguably have the most popular exhibition but the specialist nature of the other displays will also draw keen interest.

The Austrian Artist Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)

Gustav Klimt was born in 1862 near Vienna and spent his whole life in the Austrian capital. In contrast to many of his contemporaries he traveled surprisingly little, wrote seldom, and never painted a self portrait.
