"We have chosen 2012 to introduce the first of our new “Artist Series” pianos. Bösendorfer represents Austrian and especially Viennese musical culture. What better way to celebrate than to create a model dedicated to one of our most famous Austrian painters, and a founder of the Viennese Secessionist movement, Gustav Klimt. We have chosen 2012 to introduce the first of our new “Artist Series” pianos, and have dedicated it to him, as it is the 150th Anniversary of his birth.

This new model features:
•The Klimt model will be limited to a maximum of 25 units
•Each unit will have an individually numbered solid brass plate
•Made in cooperation with the Belvedere Museum, Vienna
•High resolution image of “The Kiss” and through advanced reprographic techniques is on the inside of the lid of our 200 model
•Our craftsmen further customize it by applying additional elements of real gold leaf"
