Viennese Modernism was launched in late 2017 in conjunction with the city of Vienna's planned 2018 celebration of Viennese Modernism. This website was intended to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the deaths of four main nineteenth-century proponents of Viennese Modernism: Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner, and Koloman Moser. The site motto is "Be ahead of your time." Viennese Modernism 2018 was created by Australian design firm Wild and has been nominated for best web project on the award site Awwwards. The site features everything related to Viennese Modernism, including clothing by Arthur Arbesser X Vienna. Other features in the collection include the Instagram hashtag #viennanow; prominent women in Viennese Modernism; and of course, plenty of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele's art. There's also a section on architect Otto Wagner's train stations and Koloman Moser, founder of Wiener Werkstaette, whose work spanned fine arts and design.
