After extensive research, Gustav Klimt's portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer II, 1912-1913, is presented in a special exhibition.

Adele Bloch-Bauer II is back in Vienna to undergo scientific analysis and restoration in the Belvedere's workshops. Until February 2024, this occasion presents a unique opportunity to witness this outstanding privately owned late work by Gustav Klimt in its original form and gain insight into the artist's painting technique, thanks to current research findings.

With this long-overdue, large-scale exhibition, the Leopold Museum intends to shed new light on the eminent and ground-breaking oeuvre of Max Oppenheimer, which has unjustly fallen into oblivion, and to explore the wealth of his works' motifs. Furthermore, the presentation looks at the role of the artist and his networks through his contemporaries Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele.

This exclusive exhibition of René Lalique drawings also includes a selection of René Lalique jewels.

A La Vieille Russie's collection of Fabergé drawings are also on view, alongside a selection of corresponding pieces. Both Lalique and Fabergé exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, each receiving top honours.

"Stars, Feathers, Tassels: The Wiener Werkstätte Artist Felice Rix-Ueno (1893-1967)" is a solo exhibition organized by the MAK Museum to commemorate the 130th birth of the artist. The insinstallation, with 200 arworks, presents a broad cross section of her oeuvre.

With her highly poetic, independent style, Felice Rix-Ueno established herself as one of the most remarkable artists of the Wiener Werkstätte (WW). She produced hundreds of design drawings for the WW, primarily for fabric patterns but also for wallpapers, embroideries, works in enamel, fashion and home accessories, toys, and commercial graphic design. In her second home of Japan, she found success as a university professor and founded her own design institute.

This exhibition is the first comprehensive presentation of Ukrainian art from the first half of the twentieth century to be shown outside Ukraine. It relates this tempestuous chapter of Ukrainian cultural history and tells of how modern artists tried to reinforce Ukrainian sovereignty and independence and establish a recognizable national style. The Belvedere is placing a focus on art from around 1900 to highlight connections to the development of Jugendstil.
