# Stadtbahn Station \(detail of the interior\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [WAGNER, Otto]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary Karlsplatz station is lent its distinctive character by two pavilions facing each other on either side of the tracks. Unlike the other Stadtbahn stations, which were finished in plaster, these pavilions employ a steel skeleton clad on the exterior with slabs of marble and on the interior with slabs of white plaster. The slabs bear a sunflower motif which also appears on the semicircular gable. Their Secessionist Jugendstil decor makes these two "functional" buildings appear almost luxurious. ## Related artworks - [Armchair No. 8]() - [Armchair]() - [Armchair]() - [Kirche am Steinhof: general view]() - [Kirche am Steinhof: interior]() - [Kirche am Steinhof: interior]() - [Kirche am Steinhof: main façade]() - [Länderbank: façade]() - [Länderbank: interior]() - [Majolica House: detail of the façade]() - [Majolica House: detail of the façade]() - [Majolica House: façade]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
