The album is manufactured by the bookbinder Julius Dratwa in Vienna. Examples I to XXXV were attached an original hand drawing by Gustav Klimt.

In the examples XXXVI to LXX, only the title page with the printed signature of the artist. The other examples carry the numbering I to CCXXX. About the Publication: Das Werk von Gustav Klimt (The Work of Gustav Klimt), published in 1918 by Kunstverlag Hugo Heller et Cie, Wien und Leipzig, is one of the most important and historically significant portfolios of Klimt's career. Conceived during the final phase of the artist's life and issued shortly after his death, the folio was created with Klimt's direct supervision and intended as a definitive visual record of his mature work. The plates were produced by the prestigious kaiserlich-konigliche Hof-und Staatsdruckerei in Vienna, the imperial state printing house renowned for its technical precision and ability to interpret complex tonal images through heliogravure and collotype, capturing the intricate surfaces, ornamental structures, and subtle tonal gradations of Klimt's paintings. Issued in a carefully structured hierarchy of paper states and numbering, with the earliest examples including original drawings, the folio exemplifies the highest achievements of Viennese fine press culture and the aesthetic ideals of the Vienna Secession. It remains a foundational art historical document that has shaped global understanding of Klimt's contribution to modernism. About the Artist: Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) was an Austrian painter and central force of the Vienna Secession whose revolutionary fusion of gold leaf opulence, expressive symbolism, and psychological intensity reshaped modern art and positioned him as a foundational influence on later innovators such as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray; emerging from rigorous academic training and shaped by the mentorship of Hans Makart, Klimt evolved from a gifted history painter into the leading artistic visionary of fin-de-siecle Vienna, synthesizing Byzantine mosaics, Japanese ukiyo-e, Arts and Crafts design, and Symbolist literature into an unmistakable visual language defined by ornamental abstraction, sensual figuration, and metaphysical atmosphere, and as a founder of the Vienna Secession he championed artistic freedom, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the elevation of applied arts, with his partnerships with Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and the Wiener Werkstatte helping to define early modern design culture and positioning him as a guiding figure for European avant-gardes; his deeply intimate portraits—particularly of women—explored desire, identity, and interiority, while iconic works such as The Kiss epitomized his belief that ornament and emotion could be seamlessly united, and his influence shaped contemporaries including Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka as well as later artists like Mark Rothko, Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Kehinde Wiley, and countless contemporary painters who draw from his lavish surfaces, symbolic depth, and experimental handling of pattern and form; today his masterpieces are held in major museums worldwide and remain among the most coveted works on the global market, with the highest auction price for a Gustav Klimt artwork being Dame mit Facher (Lady with a Fan), which sold for 108.4 million USD at Sotheby's London on June 27, 2023.

H.O. Miethke Das Werk folio "Judith I" collotype print
By Gustav Klimt K.K. Hof-und Staatsdruckerei
Located in Palm Beach, FL
Judith I, no. 9 from the second installment of Das Werk Gustav Klimts Much like his treatment of the Classical personage, Danae, from Greek mythology, Klimt’s depiction of Judith takes an Old Testament character, a heroine who avenges the death of her husband by killing an Assyrian king, and firmly positions her in his present-day Vienna. His multicolored collotype rips the canvas from its gilded frame which directly references the subject with its title: “Judith und Holofernes”. Now in print form, Judith, holding the severed head of a male in murky shadow, is the ultimate Viennese femme fatale. Her likeness is unmistakably similar to a former lover of Klimt’s and famous Viennese soprano, Anna von Mildenburg. Though his allusion to ancient Assyria is apt, Klimt literally lifted the gold patterned background’s design motif from a relief detail from Sennacherib’s Palace displayed in a London museum. His context then is contemporary. In a sensual and sexually powerful tour de force, Klimt’s Judith...
