The season opener is being celebrated today, and Klimt’s landscape “Am Attersee” from 1900 from the Leopold Museum will be a guest in Schörfling throughout July, the Klimt Foundation announces.
With this motto, the organizers want to awaken emotional holiday memories or thoughts of a world before the pandemic, just as Klimt experienced relaxing, inspiring and artistically formative stays for 16 years – between 1900 and 1916 – during his summer vacation at the Attersee. The exhibition provides insights into the personal side of Klimt with his family and friends at his place of longing, based on original snapshot photographs. Autograph correspondence supplements this and provides information about the artist’s daily routine at Lake Attersee, his painting motifs or his moments of relaxation while rowing and hiking.
In addition, site-specific works by two Upper Austrian artists will be on display: In Schörflinger Klimt Garden, Hannes Rohringer uses a monumental rowing boat sculpture to address Klimt’s passion for rowing and his poem about a water lily, written in 1917, in which he wistfully looks back on his summer time with Emilie Flöge. With her video work in the Villa Paulick in Seewalchner, Bernadette Huber uses animated photographs to commemorate the artist duo Emilie Flöge and Gustav Klimt.
The Gustav Klimt Center in Schlossallee in Kammer am Attersee (Hauptstraße 30) can be reached on Tel. 0664 / 8283990 and is open from today up to and including October 23 – Wednesdays to Sundays and public holidays from 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. www.klimt-am-attersee.at
