The 15th Exhibition of the Vienna Secession was held from November 5 to December 1, 1902, at the Secession Building, and notably featured Max Klinger's Beethoven sculpture and Gustav Klimt's Beethoven Frieze, a monumental cycle of wall paintings inspired by Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". This exhibition was a significant event in modern art, showcasing works that challenged traditional academic styles and embraced the ethos of the Secession movement, which aimed to unify different art forms into a "total work of art".
