LEGO Art Gustav Klimt "The Kiss" is a 3D wall artwork that recreates the Austrian artist's celebrated painting as the largest LEGO Art set to date. Comprising 4,000 pieces, the build uses gold metallic bricks, decorated circles, spirals, flower elements, and layered studs to create a textured relief that reflects the dimensional quality of Klimt's original mixed-media technique. Developed in collaboration with Vienna's Belvedere Museum, the set also incorporates a brick-built reproduction of the artist's signature. Once completed, the artwork measures over 23.5 inches tall, 21 inches wide, and includes an integrated hanging system for wall display.
The building set is accompanied by a QR code that provides access to a dedicated podcast exploring Gustav Klimt's life, artistic influences, and the creation of The Kiss. Its layered construction produces changing visual depth when viewed from different angles while translating the original composition into a sculptural brick-built format.
