Nell'anno commemorativo del Modernismo viennese, il Leopold Museum di Vienna apre le porte a "Gustav Klimt. Artist of the Century", una mostra che si sofferma sulla trasformazione artistica di un autore che si impose progressivamente fino a divenire il più eminente esponente della Secessione di Vienna. Oltre ai dipinti, sono inclusi nel percorso espositivo anche un significativo corpus di disegni preparatori: una preziosa testimonianza per ricomporre e comprendere il peculiare stile di Klimt.
