Erika Giovanna Klien: All is Movement
An exhibition
of the Belvedere, Vienna, in collaboration with the University of Applied Arts - Collection and Archive, Vienna, and the Istituto
Italiano di Studi Germanici, Rome.
The Belvedere is dedicating an extensive
solo exhibition to the work of Austrian-American artist and educator Erika Giovanna Klien (1900–1957). A leading exponent
of Viennese Kineticism, Klien achieved international acclaim early on in her career. Her passion for theater and dance found
expression in innovative set designs and complex depictions of bodies in motion. Klien moved to New York in 1929, and this
new environment manifested itself in her increasing engagement with urban spaces and social issues. (Belvedere)
