The first exhibition also included an additional room designed by Josef Hoffmann called the ‘Ver Sacrum room’ which introduced for the first time ‘Secession style’ to the public. Contrary to the traditional salon-style arrangement of pictures of the Künstlerhaus which had painting hung vertically up to the ceiling, Olbrich and Hoffmann hung all the pictures at eye level against backgrounds of white, dark red and dark green. The exhibition was also revolutionary in its approach to exhibition forms of exhibition design, primarily the responsibility of Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956) and Joseph Maria Olbrich (1867-1908). It was considered a financial success by the organizers and received positive reviews from most critics.

Conceived by Gustav Klimt, Max Kurzweil and Ludwig Hevesi, the illustrated magazine was founded in 1898 and was periodically published until 1903 it included not only important reviews on literature, music and contemporary art but also a rich selection of engravings and decorations from Secession masters. During its six years of activity, 471 original drawings were specifically made for the magazine, along with 55 lithographs and copper engravings and 216 block prints. Ver Sacrum, which alludes to the Sacred Spring of ancient Latin people with their renewal rituals through young generations and new settlements, was an absolutely original magazine that elaborated new forms of design, illustration and print/editorial composition: the influence of this represents a cornerstone of Modernity in Western art. That's why each issue had to be a work of art, a perfect representation of Secession ideals, extraordinarily epitomized by the covers. The goal of Ver Sacrum was to give life to total works of art, the so-called Gesamtkunstwerk. This book narrates and illustrates the originality of a language, perceived right from the first issues, of the legendary official magazine of the Vienna Secession, elaborated like actual program manifestoes and a cornerstone of Modernity.
