- Shown in: Asia
The exhibition, Klimt in Korea, which was organised by UEG’s art wing – ARTEG – in partnership with the Belvedere Museum, was a ground-breaking exhibition being the first large-scale exhibition of Klimt works in Asia which set records for an art exhibition in the country. There has not been an equivalent exhibition of genuine Klimt works in Asia since.
The exhibition featured over 100 works including 30 of Klimt’s most representative paintings and drawings. The exhibition featured the famous paintings Judith from the Gold Period and Adam & Eve, a selection of Klimt artworks exhibited at the Kunstschau, the Beethoven Frieze set up in a reconstruction of the room in which it was first exhibited, as well as a reconstruction of Klimt’s Studio complete with objects related to the Wiener Werkstatte.
