Der Hausfreund. Eine Wiederentdeckung des exzentrischen Werks von Friedrich von Berzeviczy-Pallavicini / A rediscovery of Friedr

Więcej o książce

Drawing on the comprehensive holdings of the artist's work in the collection of the Vienna University of Applied Arts, the exhibition highlights Friedrich von Berzeviczy-Pallavicini (1909-1989), once a colorful personality in the milieu of the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, as a contemporary and highly topical rediscovery. In contrast to the disciplined aesthetics of the Wiener Werksta¿tte, the works Berzeviczy-Pallavicini left behind are characterized by a mannerist and original language of forms. Although hardly shown to date, they constitute a rediscovery for today's world of art. Opening a dialogue with works by contemporary international artists as well as related historical positions, the exhibition Der Hausfreund takes up, reflects, and reinterprets important motifs of the artist's production.
