About the Item

Héliogravure, collotype vélin paper. Paper Size: 18.23 x 17.32 inches; image size: 12.6 x 5.71 inches. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Notes: From the folio, Das Werk von Gustav Klimt, 1918. Published by Kunstverlag Hugo Heller & Cie, Wien and Leipzig; printed by kaiserlich-königliche Hof-und Staatsdruckerei, Wien-Landstraße, 1918. Excerpted from the folio, This work was printed in a one-time numbered edition of CCC examples by the kaiserlich-königliche Hof-und Staatsdruckerei, Wien-Landstraße in héliogravure and collotype printing, under the supervision of the artist. The folio is manufactured by the bookbinder Julius Dratwa in Vienna. Examples I to XXXV were attached an original hand drawing by Gustav Klimt. In these examples, the colophon and the X colored sheets are signed with the printed signature of the artist. In the examples XXXVI to LXX, only the title page with the printed signature of the artist. The other examples carry the numbering I to CCXXX. Additional Notes: Klimt's only monograph published in his lifetime and shortly before his death. Prepared and produced under his artistic supervision between 1908 and 1918, Das Werk was a collaboration between the artist and his close friend, the Viennese publisher, Hugo Heller. Each image is rendered in héliogravure and collotype and bears its distinctive signet in the lower margin. These gold signets were original designs which Klimt specifically developed between 1908 and 1914 in order to designate and symbolize each image in this portfolio (for further information on the signets and their relationship to the paintings, see Alice Strobl, Die Zeichnungen 1904-1912, Salzburg, 1982, pages 286-290.) The total edition was LXX deluxe examples, with an original drawing, and an edition of CCXXX, though many were lost or misplaced as a result of Heller's bankruptcy, subsequent move, and Klimt's death soon after the publication. The Emperor Franz Joseph was the first to buy an example of the portfolio and, notably, Frank Lloyd Wright owned one as well (See Alofsin, Anthony. Frank Lloyd Wright, Art Collector: Secessionist Prints from the Turn of the Century. 2012). GUATAV KLIMT (1862-1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau in Europe. Klimt is noted for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d'art. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods. Early in his career, he was a successful painter of architectural decorations in a conventional manner. As he began to develop a more personal style, his work was the subject of controversy that culminated when the paintings he completed around 1900 for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna were criticized as pornographic. He subsequently accepted no more public commissions, but achieved a new success with the paintings of his "golden phase", many of which include gold leaf. Klimt's work was an important influence on his younger peer Egon Schiele. Klimt's final painting, Dame mit Fächer, 1918, was sold by Sotheby's in London on 27 June 2023 for 108.4 million USD to a Hong Kong collector—the highest-priced artwork ever sold at auction in Europe.
