A Pair of Art Deco Amboyna and Gilt Armchairs Attributed to Josef Hoffmann of Vienna
A Pair of Art Deco Amboyna and Gilt Armchairs Attributed to Josef Hoffmann of Vienna Circa 1910 – 12 23.5 x 20.5 x 44 in high (60 x 52 x 112 cm high) The tops of the curved attenuated backs are fitted with giltwood cappings. The backs and fronts of the high backs are quarter veneered and the arms are curved and shaped around the seat. With square legs and upholstered in a brown patterned velvet. Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956) was an ! Austrian architect, interior designer and applied artist. He studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria, under Art Nouveau architect Otto Wagner, whose theories of functional, modern architecture profoundly influenced his works and, in 1896, he joined his office. ! In 1898, he established his own practice in Vienna. In 1897, inspired by Mackintosh and the Glasgow School, he was one of the founding members with Gustav Klimt, of an association of revolutionary artists and architects, the Vienna Secession.!!In 1903, he founded, with architects Koloman Moser and Joseph Maria Olbrich, the Wiener Werkstätte for decorative arts. ! They aspired to the renaissance of the arts and crafts and to bring more abstract and purer forms to the designs of buildings and furniture, glass and metalwork, following the concept of total work of art. Hoffman's works combined functionality and simplicity of craft production with refined and innovative ornamental details and geometric elements. He is an important precursor of the Modern Movement and Art Deco. !!In 1905, Hoffmann, Klimt and the Wiener Werkstätte artists, designed the Palais Stoclet, in Brussels, the Capital of Art Nouveau and city of Victor Horta. -
A House in the City – in the Context of Secession Aesthetics
MaRia MaLzacheR* a hoUse in the citY – in the conteXt oF secession aesthetics DoM MieszkaLnY w MieŚcie – w kontekŚcie estetYki secesYjnej a b s t r a c t a new image of the house in the city is presented against the background of the secession aesthetics as a manifestation of new attempts, concepts and modernist trends in early 20th-century architecture and denial of the stylistic principles of jaded historical forms of art. the search for a new expression of buildings and achieve- ment of “architectural unity” indicate the dualistic challenge of creating a form os- cillating between utility and aesthetics. the means of expression of the secession aesthetics associated with the aspects of visual perception, as carriers of ideas, sym- bols and semantic connotations in the creation of new transformations of the archi- tectural urban space are analysed on the bases of selected examples: houses in cities and towns of autonomous Galicia. Keywords: house, Secession architecture, aesthetics s treszczenie w artykule przedstawiono zagadnienia związane z kształtowaniem nowego obli- cza domu mieszkalnego w mieście w kontekście estetyki secesyjnej jako przejaw wyrazu nowych dążeń, poglądów i modernistycznych tendencji w architekturze po- czątku XX w. oraz negacji stylistycznego kanonu przeżytych form historycznych. Poszukiwania nowego wyrazu budowli i osiągnięcia „architektonicznej jedności” ukazują dualistyczną dążność kształtowania jej formy oscylującej pomiędzy jej użytecznością a estetyką. Środki wyrazu estetyki secesyjnej związane z aspektem percepcji wizualnej, jako nośniki idei, symboli i konotacji znaczeń w kreowaniu nowej transformacji przestrzeni architektonicznej miasta, zanalizowano na wybra- nych przykładach – domów mieszkalnych ośrodków i miast autonomicznej Galicji.

The Influence of Major Cities Architecture on Form of Krakow Town Houses from the Turn of the 20 Th Century
International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 08(01):305–315 (2015) THE INFLUENCE OF MAJOR CITIES ARCHITECTURE ON FORM OF KRAKOW TOWN HOUSES FROM THE TURN OF THE 20 TH CENTURY Beata Makowska Krakow University of Technology, Poland Krakow town houses dating from the turn of the 20 th century combine a local tradition with tendencies popularized in major European cities ( i.a. Vienna, Paris, Berlin). They present stylistic diversity and individualization of the arrangement of their facades. Many of town houses were apparently influenced, among others, by the then important Vienna school. The decorations combine both the typical geometrical motifs of the Wiener Secession and plant motifs that were usually limited to clearly separated spaces. The influence of the Wiener Secession can be seen in geometrised forms, especially in the motif of a circle with three vertical strips, where the middle strip was often the longest one. In many Krakow structures the impact of Wagner’s works is visible – this refers, among others, to the method of arrangement of decorations on the fa çade (the “floating” façade), in the selection of forms, such as aluminium pins (dots), geometrical divisions (checks), the attic consisting of the simple sectional form supplemented by an iron guard-rail fixed on bricked brackets over the eaves, the window joinery with square divisions (the Quadrastil promoted by the Wiener Werkstätte ), borders of main façade fields, the graphic treatment of bars between windows, or the introduction of inscriptions on façades that are used not only because of their symbolic meaning, but also due to the value of their composition and decorations. -

On the Use and Effect of Ar- chitecture in the Josef Hoffmann Museum in Brtnice, a joint branch of the Moravian Gallery in Brno and the MAK, is dedicated to the relationship of Josef Hoffmann (1870–1965) with his teacher Otto Wagner (1841–1918). The occasion for the exhibi- tion is provided by the anniversary of the death of Otto Wagner, the centenary of which is approaching in 2018. Decisive for Hoffmann’s career was the promotion provided by Otto Wagner: during his training in the Spezialschule für Architektur at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, as well as in the context of their joint work in Wagner’s studio and in the Secession. Wagner’s support was also a decisive factor in Hoffmann’s appoint- ment as professor at the Kunstgewerbeschule. The interaction in terms of the creative methods of the two architects, which was the result of their close cooperation, is pre- sented on the basis of approx. -
Historic Centre of Vienna
WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. -

SCHINDLER: THE PREQUEL Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner, and the Modernist Debates of Early 20th Century Vienna Exhibition: September 11 - December 6, 2015 Opening Reception: September 10, 2015 (West Hollywood, July 8, 2015) Upcoming this fall, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture House presents an exhibition exploring the intellectual climate in Vienna at the time of R.M. Schindler's architectural training, and highlighting the trajectory connecting 19th century Europe with 20th century West Hollywood. Curated by Christian Witt-Dörring, MAK Vienna, R.M. Schindler: The Prequel will be on view at the Schindler House from September 11-December 6, 2015. There will be a public preview and reception on Thursday, September 10 (Schindler's birthday), from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and Witt-Dörring will lead a walk-through beginning at 6:30 p.m. R.M. Schindler: The Prequel contextualizes the landmark 1922 Kings Road House as a direct result of the debates playing out in Vienna Modernist circles from 1890-1914, when Schindler was a student and young practitioner. Through photographs, drawings, and furniture designs, the exhibition reviews the foundations laid by Otto Wagner, as well as the next generation responses to his work as personified by Adolf Loos and Josef Hoffmann. The Prequel is divided into four sections: the first focuses on R.M. Schindler's (1887- 1953) Vienna years from 1887-1914. As a student, Schindler took up civil engineering before attending Otto Wagner's special school of architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts. -

MOSAIC CONNECTION 2018 Tirol - Tschechien Innsbruck - Prag
MOSAIC CONNECTION 2018 Tirol - Tschechien Innsbruck - Prag Tyrolsko - Česko Innsbruck - Praha Prag, Stadthaus / Praha, Obecní dům. Innsbruck, Dreiheiligenkirche. Tagung zu historischen Mosaiken und Glasfenstern in Tirol und deren Verbindung zu Tschechien Konference Historické mozaiky a vitráže Tyrolska a jejich vazby na Českou Republiku 1861 gründeten Albert Neuhauser, Josef Vonstadl und Georg Mader in Innsbruck die „Tiroler Glas- malerei Anstalt“. 1877 eröfnete Albert Neuhauser eine Mosaikwerkstätte, die erste Österreichs. Im Jahr 1900 fusionierten die beiden Betriebe zur „Tiroler Glasmalerei- und Mosaikanstalt“. 1861 založili Albert Neuhauser, Josef Vonstadl a Georg Mader ‚Tyrolský ústav pro vitráže‘. V roce 1877 otevřel Albert Neuhauser první rakouskou mozaikářskou dílnu. V roce 1900 se oba podniky spojily pod názvem ¨Tyrolský ústav pro vitráže a mozaiky‘. V roce 1877 založil Albert Neuhauser v Innsbrucku první rakouskou mozaikovou dílnu. V roce 1900 se tato dílna spojila s ‚Tiroler Glasma- lereianstalt‘ společně daly vzniknout ‚Tiroler Glasmalerei- und Mosaikanstalt‘. Vydalo/Published by Art a Craft Mozaika The release of this Book of Abstracts was supported by State Cultural Foundation of the Czech Republic (grant No. 150 2018). 2018 ÚVOD / VORWORT 1877 gründete Albert Neuhauser in Innsbruck eine Mosaikwerkstätte. 1900 fusionierte der Betrieb mit der „Tiroler Glasmalereianstalt“. Die Tiroler Werkstätte war für Wiederbelebung der Mosaikkunst nicht nur in Österreich, sondern auch in der Tschechoslowakei, bzw. in Tschechien, von entscheidender Bedeutung. Nicht nur dies habe ich 2014 erfahren, als ich die tschechische Mosaik-Expertin Magdalena Kracík Štorkánová im Rahmen der XIV. AIMC Konferenz im Architekturzentrum Wien getrofen habe. Damals war ich als Direktor des Kulturzentrums der Tschechischen Republik für Österreich und die Schweiz mit dem Sitz in Wien tätig.
