Klimt Illustrated

The Vienna Tourist Board is still trying to promote Gustav Klimt's 150th birthday. It has invited 9 street artists to paint their versions of Klimt's works in front of a live audience in London’s Grosvenor Gardens on Tuesday 21 August (CLICK). Not much point doing it in front of a dead audience. The finished works will be displayed in the Lazarides Gallery in Soho as a free public exhibition: Klimt Illustrated. Above is Klimt's Mother and Child.
