The front facadeThe Vienna Secession, an avant-garde group of artists, many of whom are associated with Jugendstil, the German variant of art nouveau, saw this building completed in time for their second exhibit, designed by one of their members. Its dignity and simplicity were seen as appropriate for a "temple" to art. The foliated dome, nicknamed by contemporaries as the "golden cabbage," is gilded with laurel leaves and berries. |
