Vienna 1900: Birth of Modernism is the rare first-edition catalog published exclusively by the Leopold Museum for its permanent exhibition exploring the artistic and intellectual transformation of Vienna around 1900. Produced as an in-house museum publication and not distributed commercially, this edition remains available only through the Leopold Museum, making it a sought-after collectible for admirers of Austrian Modernism.

The catalog offers a richly illustrated look at Vienna’s turn-of-the-century culture, a moment defined by groundbreaking developments in art, design, and thought. Featuring major works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann, Oskar Kokoschka, and other key figures, it traces the rise of Jugendstil, the Vienna Secession, and early Austrian Expressionism.

As a museum-exclusive first edition with limited external availability and nearly 1,000 illustrations across 560 pages, this catalog offers both an authoritative introduction to Vienna’s artistic innovations and a valuable collectible book for those interested in the history of Modernism and rare museum publications.
