The NGV’s eighth exhibition in the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series, Vienna: Art & Design will bring together an outstanding collection of almost 240 works by the greatest Viennese artists of the early 20th Century.
Vienna: Art & Design will come exclusively to the National Gallery of Victoria from two of Vienna’s most important museums – The Belvedere Museum and Wien Museum (Vienna Museum) along with works from private lenders and public institutions from all over the world.
Visitors will be delighted by the beauty and richness of the works in this extraordinary and comprehensive exhibition, which are on display in Australia for the very first time.
This dazzling exhibition will showcase an exquisite selection of furniture, decorative arts, jewellery, paintings and textiles by Vienna’s most famous designers, architects and artists in the period 1890 to 1928.
This exhibition will explore modernism, individualism, the rise of the Secession movement and the creation of a new style concentrating on the use of colour and design.
