For those of you who are more into the traditional Viennese design …

High relief, Design by Gustav Klimt, Oesterreichische Werkstaetten

… there is a really interesting exhibition in the MAK on design in Vienna between 1890 and 1938. You can find arts and crafts by Koloman Moser, the Wiener Werkstaette, Josef Hoffmann …

Among the staff of the Wiener Werkstaette was also about a dozen women. Although derided by some critics women like Vally Wieselthier founded their own ateliers and supplied the Wiener Werkstaette with commission goods. Gudrun Baudisch worked in the pottery department of the Wiener Werkstaette and founded in 1945 the well-known “Keramik Hallstatt” (Pottery Hallstatt). Prominent fellow female artists were Reni Schaschl, Hilda Jesser and Susi Singer.
