Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum holds 5 works by Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Klimt's golden paintings are extraordinary objects — part painting, part decorative surface, using gold leaf in ways that cameras cannot accurately photograph. The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I are icons of early 20th-century art, and seeing them in Vienna makes clear why they are so celebrated.
