In its current form, the Secession exhibition gallery is independently led and managed by artists.
In 1905 the group itself split, when some of the most prominent members, including Klimt, Wagner, and Hoffmann, resigned in a dispute over priorities, but it continued to function, and still functions today, from its headquarters in the Secession Building. Their official magazine was called Ver Sacrum ( Sacred Spring, in Latin), which published highly stylised and influential works of graphic art. Their most influential architectural work was the Secession Building designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich as a venue for expositions of the group. They resigned from the Association of Austrian Artists in protest against its support for more traditional artistic styles. Take a walk around the building to see the owl designs by Koloman Moser.The Vienna Secession ( German : Wiener Secession also known as the Union of Austrian Artists, or Vereinigung Bildender Künstler Österreichs) is an art movement, closely related to Art Nouveau, that was formed in 1897 by a group of Austrian painters, graphic artists, sculptors and architects, including Josef Hoffman, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner and Gustav Klimt. Be sure to visit the bookshop with a good selection of Secession and Jugendstil related books and materials. Museum admission also includes access to Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze in the basement. This museum lives up to the Secession motto “To every age its art- To every art its freedom” by continuing to exhibit the work of contemporary artists.
