At the turn of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women helped shape one of Europe's most influential design movements. Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte highlights the artists, designers, and makers whose innovative work transformed Vienna's celebrated Wiener Werkstätte, challenging traditional boundaries between fine and decorative arts.
Featuring exquisite textiles, jewelry, ceramics, fashion, and graphic design, the exhibition showcases the creativity of figures including Emilie Flöge, Vally Wieselthier, and Mathilde Flögl. Through their bold aesthetic vision and pioneering craftsmanship, these women redefined modern design while expanding opportunities for female artists in the early twentieth century, leaving a lasting impact on art, fashion, and decorative arts.
