Women Artists of the Wiener Werkstätte

Project Manager: Anne-Katrin Rossberg, Curator, MAK Metal Collection and Wiener Werkstätte Archive
With the participation of Michael Hölters, Maria-Luise Jesch

During research for the MAK exhibition of the same name—that had to be postponed for a year because of Corona—180 women artists were identified by name. Their production for the Wiener Werkstätte (WW) varied from postcard design to works in all areas of arts and crafts. Their biographies have been updated or created from scratch for the already published exhibition catalog. Up until the exhibition opening in April 2021, and beyond that date, the research findings will be constantly updated.
