BOOK - POSTCARDS OF THE WIENER WERKSTATTE - a Catalogue Raisonné

The Wiener Werkstatte, or Vienna Workshops, was founded in 1903 by architect and designer Josef Hoffmann. In 1907, the Wiener Werkstatte began publishing a numbered series of postcards. Many of them were designed to celebrate holidays, fashion and humorous topics. A selection of these cards will be on view at the Neue Galerie New York on a regular basis as part of the permanent collection. All the mayor WW designers created postcards including Hoffman, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele and Dagobert Peche.

For myself it is a spectacular book, very inspiring. The colours and the combinations are really special, as the style of drawing and composition. A few samples:
