现在维也纳最热门的门票提供了攀爬脚手架的机会。

Vienna’s Burgtheater is offering tours of its 60-foot-high ceiling, where for the first time the public can see some of Gustav Klimt’s earliest artworks up close.

Klimt, his brother Ernst and fellow Austrian Franz Matsch created 10 oil paintings for the ceiling of the theater from 1886 to 1888—Klimt’s first big commission.

“The special thing about Klimt for me at least is that we only know about his later works,” says Hannes Höllinger to the Associated Press’ Philipp Jenne. Höllinger went on one of the recent Klimt tours and says it “was very interesting to see that already at age 24 he made these very beautiful paintings which I myself had not seen before.”

Klimt was born outside of Vienna and trained as an architectural painter, but after the death of Ernst and his father in 1892, he moved toward a more personal style.他最著名的作品大多发生在 1890 年代和 1900 年代初的“黄金阶段”,当时他经常在上流社会女性肖像中使用金箔。

“克里姆特比任何其他艺术家都更能体现世纪末的奥地利现代主义,”奥地利行动屋 im Kinsky 在一幅丢失的克里姆特画作被重新发现后在一份声明中表示。 “他的作品,特别是他对世纪之交中上层阶级成功女性的肖像画,在全世界享有最高的认可。”

Indeed, today Klimt is exhibited widely.去年秋天,一幅肖像画创造了历史,成为拍卖史上最昂贵的现代艺术作品。
