WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE WIENER WERKSTÄTTE

Wed, 21.04.2021–Sun, 03.10.2021

MAK – Museum of Applied Arts

COVID-19: EXHIBITION POSTPONED TO 2021

To date far too little attention has been paid to the women artists of the Wiener Werkstätte (1903–1932). This exhibition is about to change that: Gudrun Baudisch, Vally Wieselthier, Mathilde Flögl, Paula Lustig, and Mizzi Vogl are but a fraction of about 180 women who made an essential contribution to the development of Viennese arts and crafts—especially with their innovations in the fields of commercial graphic design, textile design, fashion design, toys, wall decoration, and ceramics.

Who Knows the Women Artists of the Wiener Werkstätte? WE ARE LOOKING FOR YOUR STORIES!

For the exhibition WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE WIENER WERKSTÄTTE (27 May – 20 Sep 2020), we are looking for more information: biographical data, life events, personal histories, visual and textual material, or as yet unknown works. If you have any information about the following or other women artists of the Wiener Werkstätte, please get in touch via frauenderww@MAK.at
