Book Presentation Fritzi Löw und die Buchkunst in Wien um 1900 [Fritzi Löw and Book Art in Vienna around 1900]

by Josef Smolen and the Vienna Bibliophile Society

Who was Fritzi Löw? What links her with Josef Hoffmann, Gustav Klimt, and the Wiener Werkstätte? Which genre is forever associated with her name? These and many other questions are examined in this book, and hitherto hidden or forgotten details of her life gathered together and presented in new contexts.

The focus of the book is on the personality of Fritzi Löw and her work as an outstanding illustrator. Influenced by the great names of the Art Nouveau age, who were her teachers and colleagues, her creative oeuvre is located within events and artistic developments associated with the Wiener Werkstätte. This narrative is complemented by the first comprehensive bibliography of Fritzi Löw’s works.
