On February 24, 2011, Neue Galerie New York opened Vienna 1900: Style and Identity, an exhibition devoted to the fine and decorative arts of turn-of-the-century Vienna. The museum's page gives the date range as Feb 24 to Aug 8, 2011, and describes the exhibition as tracing how Viennese art redefined individual identity in the modern age. Curated by Christian Witt-Dorring and Jill Lloyd, it brought together work by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele with design and architecture by figures such as Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann, and Koloman Moser. In a museum founded around German and Austrian modernism, the show framed Vienna 1900 as an integrated visual culture rather than a sequence of isolated masterpieces.
The exhibition reinforced the cross-disciplinary reading of Viennese modernism in American museum practice.
