Interior design was supremely important to Gustav Klimt, and
many of his paintings were created for specific settings or spaces.
This aspect of Klimt’s practice comes beautifully to life in this book
that illustrates how some of the artist’s most beloved canvases
appeared in situ—in private dining rooms and salons, galleries,
museums, and public exhibition spaces.
Works such as the portraits of Emilie Flöge and Hermine Gallia, the
shocking Nuda Veritas, and landscapes A Morning by the Pond and
The Tall Poplar I are presented in double-page spreads. Full-color
reproductions of paintings by Klimt are juxtaposed with blackand-
white vintage photographs of the original interiors with the
featured paintings overlaid in color. Thoughtful and personal texts
by Klimt scholar Tobias Natter accompany each spread, providing
invaluable contextual insight about how these pictures were
conceived as part of the interior design of their respective rooms
and spaces, and the passionate collectors who first owned these
pictures. Meticulously produced and packaged, this book provides
a refreshing perspective on Klimt’s oeuvre and artistic vision.
