Druck in Österreich von PAUL GERIN GmbH & Co KG 2 Redaktionsschluss: Februar 2017 3 Dear reader, A great deal has been written and said about fin-de-siècle Vienna, Viennese Modernism, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner, Koloman Moser, Sigmund Freud, Karl Kraus, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schönberg, Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, Alma Mahler and Berta Zuckerkandl – and rightly so. The “Wiener Moderne” or Viennese Modernism, the name given to the time around 1900 in which all of these and many other individuals created a lasting legacy, has come to be fêted as one of the most important chapters in Austria’s cultural history. In 1918 the nation lost four of this period’s chief protagonists: Klimt, Schiele, Wagner and Moser all died. At a time that was shaped by incredible creative achievements and political Armageddon owing to the First World War, Vienna veered between “Beauty and the Abyss”. Beauty and the Abyss is the theme chosen by the Vienna Tourist Board for 2018, the year that marks the 100th anniversary of the deaths of Klimt, Schiele, Wagner and Moser. However, rather than mourning their passing we will be celebrating their work, which is still visible throughout Vienna to this day and continues to shape the look and feel of the city. Klimt led the avant garde and took Schiele under his wing. Controversial at the time, Schiele’s expressionist masterpieces continue to capture the imagination of people all over the world in the 21st century. Otto Wagner was a visionary in a constantly expanding capital city. And any present day conversation about design has to touch on the work of Koloman Moser. He was the graphic designer of the previous turn of the century. One FOREWORD thing they all have in common is their canvas: Vienna. It is here that they spent most of their lives, the city where they worked and exchanged ideas with many of the other geniuses of Viennese Modernism. The following pages contain an overview of everything that the city’s galleries, museums and other institutions have in store during the year. After all, it is only in Vienna that you can experience the fin de siècle in all its glory in 2018! With best regards, Norbert Kettner Managing Director, Vienna Tourist Board 4 5 Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Über Wien um 1900, die Wiener Mo- derne, über Gustav Klimt und Egon Schiele, Otto Wagner und Koloman Moser, Sigmund Freud und Karl Kraus, Gustav Mahler und Arnold Schönberg, Josef Hoffmann und Adolf Loos, Alma Mahler und Berta Zuckerkandl wurde schon viel ge- schrieben, erzählt und publiziert. – Und das zu Recht. Die Wiener Rigaud © WienTourismus/Peter Moderne, jene Zeit um 1900, in der diese und viele andere Persönlichkeiten Großartiges schu- fen, zählt zu den wichtigsten Kunst- und Kulturepochen der österreichischen Geschichte. 1918 verlor sie vier bedeutende Protagonisten: Klimt, Schiele, Wagner und Moser starben. Zu einer Zeit, die geprägt war von größtem kreativen Schaffen und politischem Weltenbrand: Bedingt durch den Ersten Welt- krieg schwankte Wien zwischen „Schönheit und Abgrund“. Das ist auch der Titel, unter den der WienTourismus das Themenjahr 2018 stellt, in dem sich die Todestage von Klimt, Schiele, Wagner und Moser zum 100. Mal jähren. Aber wir wer- den nicht deren Ableben feiern, sondern ihr Schaffen, das bis zum heutigen Tag in Wien sichtbar ist und diese Stadt geprägt hat. Klimt war der Anführer der Avantgarde, ein Förderer von Schiele. Schieles damals kontroversielle expressionistische Meisterwerke begeistern noch im 21. Jahrhundert die ganze VORWORT FOREWORD Welt. Otto Wagner war der Visionär einer ständig wachsen- den Großstadt. Und wer in diesen Tagen über Design spricht, muss auch über Koloman Moser reden. Er war der „Graphic Designer“ der vorvergangenen Jahrhundertwende. – Ihnen allen gemein ist ihre Wirkungsstätte: Wien. Hier haben sie die meiste Zeit ihres Lebens verbracht, hier haben sie gearbeitet, hier haben sie sich mit den vielen anderen Genies der Wiener Moderne ausgetauscht. Auf den folgenden Seiten finden Sie einen Überblick über das umfangreiche Angebot, das die Wiener Institutionen für das Themenjahr zusammengestellt haben. Denn nur in Wien können Sie 2018 die Zeit um 1900 hautnah erleben. Ihr Norbert Kettner Direktor WienTourismus 4 5 Exhibitions in 2018 Lower Belvedere www.belvedere.at AUSTRIA-HUNGARY 1918 March–August 2018 The final decade of the monarchy marked the dawn of the Mod- ernist era in the Austro-Hungarian empire. This exhibition looks at the exciting artistic advances of this period. Viennese greats such as Gustav Klimt (1862–1918) and Egon Schiele (1890–1918) are presented in dialog with a variety of figures including lead- ing Czech cubists, painters in the Hungarian Nyolcak group, representatives of Slovenia’s Sava group and many others. The various exhibits shed light on the parallels, divergences and interchange between the work being produced by artists across the multicultural Habsburg Empire. EGON SCHIELE AT THE BELVEDERE June–September 2018 In this show, the Belvedere is giving pride of place to its ex- tensive collection of oil paintings by Egon Schiele. Each work is given additional context by sketches, related pieces, art- works by the artist’s contemporaries, archive material and photographs. The exhibition will raise the public profile of the Belvedere’s impressive Schiele collection, which includes several pieces that were acquired during the artist’s lifetime.

  • Kunsthaus Zürich Presents 'Hodler, Klimt and the Wiener Werkstätte'
    Media release Zurich, 20 May 2021 Kunsthaus Zürich presents ‘Hodler, Klimt and the Wiener Werkstätte’ From 21 May to 29 August, the Kunsthaus Zürich presents paintings, drawings, furniture, jewellery and design objects from the heyday of the Vienna Secession. The presentation focuses on works by Josef Hoffmann, Ferdinand Hodler and Gustav Klimt as well as the creations of Dagobert Peche. Peche was the artistic director of the Wiener Werkstätte branch that opened on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse in 1917, and whose history is being examined by scholars for the first time as part of the exhibition. The presentation includes some 160 exhibits. It is curated by Tobias G. Natter, former Director of the Leopold Museum in Vienna and author of the catalogues raisonnés of the paintings of Gustav Klimt (2012) and Egon Schiele (2017). The exhibition sheds new light, from a Viennese perspective, on Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918), who during his lifetime was already being seen as Switzerland’s ‘national artist’. It reminds us that Hodler owed his international breakthrough to the triumph of his participation in the 19th Exhibition of the Vienna Secession in 1904, which brought him the social and financial success he had long craved. Hodler also spent several weeks in Vienna during the exhibition, experiencing at first hand the aesthetic of Viennese ‘Jugendstil’. ‘HIGH AND LOW’ Of the artists Hodler met in Vienna, he reserved the greatest admiration for Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), and in particular ‘the decorative element’ of his art. Yet while known as a peerless exponent of ‘Vienna 1900’, eroticism and ornament, Klimt was more than just the leading figure in Viennese modernism.

  • R.M. SCHINDLER: the PREQUEL Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner, and the Modernist Debates of Early 20Th Century Vienna
    Press Contact: Adam Peña (323) 651-1510 [email protected] MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House presents R.M. 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.

  • Koloman Moser, Reigen Der Kranzträgerinnen, 1898
    Koloman Moser, Reigen der Kranzträgerinnen, 1898 Model panel, reconstruction 2017–18 Lead conservator: Johannes Duda In cooperation with the Federal Monuments Authority Austria On occasion of the centenary of Koloman Moser’s (1869–1918) death, a model panel from his fresco Reigen der Kranzträgerinnen (Dance of the Wreath-Bearing Maidens) will be on display on the Secession’s rear side façade. Created in 1898 for the Secession building, which was completed that year, the fresco originally adorned the rear façade. In conjunction with the 2017–18 renovations, a section of the frieze has been reconstructed in cooperation with the Federal Monuments Authority Austria. The temporary reconstruction of the frieze is based on photographic material and descriptions of the work from the time of its creation. The first step was the production of a perforated stencil after a rectified scale printout of a historic photograph. The three-layer plasterwork was executed in sections, so-called day’s works, that correspond to segments of the motif. It is crucial that the most recently applied layer of fine plaster is still wet when the relief is cut. Minor inaccuracies are inevitable due to the manual execution but also make for a much livelier overall impression. Additional steps included stippling the structured backdrop surfaces with twigs and modeling the wreaths and heads of hair. The reconstruction of the color scheme draws on historic written sources and the grayscale of the black-and- white photographs. These documents allow for a definitive replication of the original gilding, white dresses, and terracotta-colored outlines; other areas of the frieze such as the coloration of the waves in the background and the dark stippled plasterwork are approximations based on the best available historical evidence.

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‘.

Die Tiroler Werkstätte war für Wiederbelebung der Mosaikkunst nicht nur in Österreich, sondern auch in der Tschechoslowakei, bzw. in Tschechien, von entscheidender Bedeutung.

Damals war ich als Direktor des Kulturzentrums der Tschechischen Republik für Österreich und die Schweiz mit dem Sitz in Wien tätig.
