In 1897, Gustav Klimt, along with other artists, left the conservative House of Artists and founded a new art association called the Secession. In 1898 a house of the same name was built. In 1897/98, the architect Josef Maria Olbrich built a modern Art Nouveau exhibition space, which is now one of Vienna's most famous buildings, on a plot of land provided by the city administration on Vinzaile Street in Nashmarkt. The dome with an ornament in the form of leaves ("golden head") is a symbol of Secession and visible from afar.→
