Gustav Klimt's circle of friends included numerous photographers, both amateurs and professionals, as well as those who were recognized as artists working in this relatively new medium.

GUSTAV KLIMT’S LAST ROSE
CAPTURING THE FRAGRANCE, ART AND SCIENCE

Julia Asenbaum, Biologist, Plant Scientist and Scientific Illustrator

The Rose, queen of all flowers, has fascinated humankind for thousands of years and has been depicted by artists through the ages. Even to this day rose fragrance fills the cottage garden surrounding Gustav Klimt’s last studio at Feldmühlgasse in Vienna. However, this fragrant delight does not come from just any rose bush. It is the same plant that has been there for more than a hundred years and was painted by Klimt in his 1912 work “Orchard with Roses.” In June 2020, its fragrance was captured and analyzed using scientific methods to preserve it for future generations. Botanist Julia Asenbaum will give guests a glimpse into scent conservation and Gustav Klimt’s fleeting sensory world.

Thursday, April 25, 6:30 P.M. - MEMBER EXCLUSIVE - SOLD OUT

VIENNA: HOW THE CITY OF IDEAS CREATED THE MODERN WORLD

Dr. Richard Cockett, Senior Editor at The Economist and Member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University

Psychoanalysis, neoliberal economics, atomic physics, atonal music, sexology, art therapy and much more all originated in the capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire -- as did Nazism and organised antisemitism. Equally, between them the Viennese diaspora who fled Nazism invented the shopping mall, helped to create Hollywood, devised management theory, pioneered modern espionage, conjured up the sexual revolution and produced Reaganism and Thatcherism. How, and why, did just two generations of Viennese come to be so innovative, and across such a bewildering range of disciplines and professions, essentially creating the modern world? Dr Richard Cockett explains all in his fascinating talk.

Nupur Tron, Owner and Founder of Foundation Frison Horta, Brussels

Foundation Frison Horta in Brussels is an organic, “living museum,” which provides a cultural bridge between India and Europe.

Join owner, founder, and building resident Nupur Tron on her exciting journey to restore this singular building and its environs to create a-one-of-a-kind period setting, where guests can discover the connection between the past and the future as well as influences of Indian landscape and architecture on the West.
