[[Vienna]] became the centre of a distinct variant of Art Nouveau, which became known as the [[Vienna Secession]]. The movement took its name from [[Munich Secession]] established in 1892. Vienna Secession was founded in April 1897 by a group of artists that included [[Gustav Klimt]], [[Koloman Moser]], [[Josef Hoffmann]], [[Joseph Maria Olbrich]], [[Max Kurzweil]], [[Ernst Stöhr]], and others.<ref name="secession" /> The painter Klimt became the president of the group. They objected to the conservative orientation toward [[historicism]] expressed by [[Vienna Künstlerhaus]], the official union of artists. The Secession founded a magazine, ''[[Ver Sacrum (magazine)|Ver Sacrum]]'', to promote their works in all media.{{Sfn|Lahor|2007|p=63}} The architect Joseph Olbrich designed the domed Secession building in the new style, which became a showcase for the paintings of Gustav Klimt and other Secession artists.

Klimt became the best-known of the Secession painters, often erasing the border between fine art painting and decorative painting. [[Koloman Moser]] was an extremely versatile artist in the style; his work including magazine illustrations, architecture, silverware, ceramics, porcelain, textiles, stained glass windows, and furniture.

The most prominent architect of the [[Vienna Secession]] was [[Otto Wagner]],<ref>{{cite web |url= http://artnouveau.eu/upload/magazine_pdf/cdf-27.pdf |title=The "Coup de Fouet" magazine, vol. 27 (2016), pp. 14–25 |access-date=28 July 2019 |archive-date=28 July 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190728151903/http://artnouveau.eu/upload/magazine_pdf/cdf-27.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref> he joined the movement soon after its inception to follow his students Hoffmann and Olbrich. His major projects included several stations of the urban rail network (the [[Vienna Stadtbahn|Stadtbahn]]), the [[Linke Wienzeile Buildings]] (consisting of Majolica House, the House of Medallions and the house at Köstlergasse).  The Karlsplatz Station is now an exhibition hall of the [[Vienna Museum]]. The [[Kirche am Steinhof]] of Steinhof Psychiatric hospital (1904–1907) is a unique and finely-crafted example of Secession religious architecture, with a traditional domed exterior but sleek, modern gold and white interior lit by abundance of modern stained glass.

In 1899 [[Joseph Maria Olbrich]] moved to [[Darmstadt Artists' Colony]], in 1903 [[Koloman Moser]] and [[Josef Hoffmann]] founded the [[Wiener Werkstätte]], a training school and workshop for designers and craftsmen of furniture, carpets, textiles and decorative objects.{{Sfn|Lahor|2007|p=120}} In 1905 Koloman Moser and [[Gustav Klimt]] separated from Vienna Secession, later in 1907 Koloman Moser left [[Wiener Werkstätte]] as well, while its other founder Josef Hoffmann joined the [[Deutscher Werkbund]].<ref name="werkbund" /> Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann continued collaborating, they organized {{Interlanguage link|Kunstschau Exhibition|de|Kunstschau Wien 1908}} in 1908 in [[Vienna]] and built the [[Stoclet Palace]] in [[Brussels]] (1905–1911) that announced the coming of [[modernist architecture]].<ref name="oudin">Oudin, Bernard, ''Dictionnaire des Architectes'' (1994), pp. 33–34</ref><ref name="sembach">Sembach, ''L'Art Nouveau'' (2013), pp. 203–213</ref> It was designated as a [[World Heritage Site]] by [[UNESCO]] in June 2009.<ref name=stoclet>{{cite web|title=Stoclet House|publisher=[[UNESCO World Heritage Centre]]|date=4 July 2009|url= https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1298|access-date=24 July 2019|archive-date=21 July 2016|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160721005708/https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1298|url-status=live}}</ref>
