Vienna 1900 Special: Felice Rix-Ueno and the Wiener Werkstätte

Last Guided Tour before end of exhibition

With her unique and highly poetic style, Felice Rix-Ueno was one of the most remarkable artists of the Wiener Werkstätte (WW, founded in 1903) and left an indelible mark on the company’s creations. It is unmistakable in hundreds of designs, primarily for fabric patterns but also for wallpapers, embroideries, works in enamel, fashion and home accessories, toys, and commercial graphic design.
