Wiener Werkstätte 1903-1933

The Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop) was one of the most influential design workshops to emerge during the early part of the twentieth century. A direct offshoot of the fin de siecle Secessionist movement, this collaborative guild, composed of nearly one hundred artists, designers, and artisans, was on the forefront of the intellectual and artistic spirit that made Vienna a leading cultural center. From tableware to textiles, paintings to ceramics, the workshop produced an extraordinary range of elegant pieces made with the finest materials and attention to detail. These finely-crafted pieces are from the collection of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Pomegranate's books of postcards contain thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver.
