Catalogue Note: A pristine, unread copy of this visually stunning collection of Gustav Klimt’s landscape paintings. While Klimt is globally revered for his symbol-laden, opulent portraits, this scholarly exhibition catalogue sheds light on a vital, lesser-known aspect of his career. Assembled by Stephan Koja, this volume includes all extant landscape paintings from the artist, showcasing his summer experiments with light, composition, and color during his travels through the Austrian and Italian countryside. This "New" condition copy features high-quality color reproductions and insightful essays, making it an essential addition for any collection focused on Viennese Modernism, Symbolism, or European nature painting.

For the last twenty years of his career, Gustav Klimt devoted considerable energy to painting landscapes during his summer vacations. These bucolic, tranquil scenes reveal a different side of the master—an artist deeply engaged with the natural world. This book traces the evolution of Klimt's landscape style: from works informed by the academic tradition to his decorative "golden style" and, eventually, to a more experimental, painterly manner of working in pure, vibrant color. Accompanied by scholarly analysis, these images prove that Klimt’s mastery extended far beyond his famous portraits, offering a fascinating look at the atmospheric works that shimmer with light and harmonious color.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
