The comprehensive exhibition VALLY WIESELTHIER: Ceramic Sculptor is dedicated by the MAK to Viennese ceramist Vally Wieselthier’s (1895–1945) career in Europe and in the United States, where she lived and worked from 1928 on. The show was occasioned by her American family’s bequest of a part of her impressive oeuvre. One of Josef Hoffmann’s and Michael Powolny’s students at the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, Wieselthier was the most prominent representative of a Wiener Werkstätte Ceramics wholly influenced by women artists. From 1927 she headed the production facility, where she developed a new form of ceramic sculpture of heretofore unknown expressivity.
