"Focusing on the most important exhibitions ever held at the Vienna Secession between 1898 and 1998, this book examines the exciting and contradictory path carved by art in the 20th century. It also provides a very readable historical documentation of the Secession, the oldest institution exhibiting works by Modernist artists, which ever since its founding has been one of the most youthful and refreshing exhibition venues in Vienna."--Jacket Published to accompany an exhibition at the Secession, Vienna, Apr. 3-June 21, 1998 and the Rudolfinum, Prague, Nov. 19. 1998-Jan. 31, 1999.
