Free Admission: Gustav Klimt, Gold in Motion
Gustav Klimt, Gold in Motion brings Klimt’s colorful 19th and early 20th-century paintings to life in six distinct sequences. Projected onto the historic architecture of the Emigrant Bank, mesmerizing visuals are paired with a moving musical soundtrack. Guests will see iconic works such as The Kiss (1907-08) and the portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I (1907) magnified on a larger-than-life scale. Small, intricate details and brush strokes explode onto the walls and floor giving viewers an entirely new perspective on Klimt’s work.
Emigrant Bank was designed by Paris-trained architect Raymond F. Almirall and constructed between 109 and 1912. The impressive hall, which now houses Manhattan’s largest permanent center for custom-curated immersive experiences., was occupied by the bank until 1969. Stained-glass windows, white marble, and limestone walls from Italy give the space an impressive ambiance and make it the perfect setting for showcasing the sumptuous works of Gustav Klimt.
In addition to the main show, guests can also enjoy three accompanying exhibitions: Hundertwasser, Five Movements, and Recoding Entropia.
