30x17 inches, 76x43 cm. Wolf und Sohn, Munich.
Condition A. Paper.
Franz Von Stück painted the head of the Greek Goddess Athena in 1891. In 1893, Athena became the emblem of the Münich Secession when Von Stück officially co-founded the movement and used her image on a poster advertising the group's first international exhibition. (Five years later in Vienna, Pallas Athena became an emblem of that city's Secession movement as well, with the painting by Gustav Klimt and Klimt's subsequent use of the Goddess on his Secession posters). As late as 1907, Stück reused the goddess' head, framed in an octagon, for many posters advertising Secession exhibitions. This poster, along with all his other Secession work, was printed by Wolf & Sohn, the main printer of the Secession. Wember 745, DFP III 3212 (var).
