In 1899, Wagner arrived in the group. Wagner was the chairman and famous teacher of Wien school of architecture. Under his pulse, the movement took another dimension. In 1898, Olbrich built the Sezession building where the next exhibitions of the sezession group took place. The building has white nude walls contrasting with its sculpted golden coupole.
Art belongs to everybody.
The sezession disapeared in 1906 when Klimt left the group. Thonet brothers, inventors of a new technique to bend wood, created numerous pieces of furniture that could sometimes be called Art Nouveau.
