Erika Giovanna Klien
18 Sep 2026 — 31 Jan 2027 at Lower Belvedere
· Vienna
This exhibition shines a spotlight on Erika Giovanna Klien (1900–1957), a trailblazing Austrian-American artist and key figure of the Viennese Kineticism movement. Trained at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts under Franz Cizek, Klien developed a bold visual language rooted in the depiction of motion, rhythm, and urban energy.
Her works — spanning drawing, printmaking, and painting — translate the dynamism of modern life into vibrant, angular compositions. The exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to engage with an artist whose contribution to early twentieth-century modernism remains widely underappreciated.
