"It was painter Gustav Klimt, one of the founders of the Vienna Secession movement, who quit the conservative Association of Austrian Artists to found a group that had more artistic freedom. Since its construction in 1898 the Secession building has remained not only an art-nouveau architectural wonder – note the golden-leaf orb atop – but also an avant-garde, artist-run exhibition venue."
