!!!Miethke

Miethke, gallery and art dealers, founded by H. O. Miethke in 
Vienna in 1861, in 1904 acquired by the jeweller Paul Bacher, a friend 
of G. Klimt. Under the artistic direction of C.  Moll it became the 
most prominent gallery in Vienna after the turn of the century. Until 
1904 exhibited mostly Viennese painters like R. von  Alt and H.  
Makart, in 1905 complete exhibition of the  Wiener Werkstaette, then 
mainly exhibitions of the Klimt group, but also of foreign artists 
like Ferdinand Hodler, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. In 1919 the 
gallery was turned into the "Haus der jungen Kuenstlerschaft" (House 
of Young Artists), and in 1936 taken over by the  Dorotheum auction 
house.
