November 9, 2014, 11:30 a.m. — Gustav Klimt’s Adele Bloch-Bauer II
Gustav Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer II, a stunning portrait of the woman most associated with the Viennese Secession, was completed in 1912. In celebration of the loan of this celebrated portrait to The Museum of Modern Art from a private collection, join us in the galleries for an intimate look at the painting, along with a selection of Art Nouveau objects, modern furniture, and paintings by Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele that recall the music, poetry, and design produced by those closest to Bloch-Bauer.
Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history, and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
Sign language–interpreted Gallery Sessions are held every fourth Sunday of the month at 1:30 p.m. FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.
