Tracing Wiener Werkstätte Textiles: Viennese Textiles from the Cotsen Textile Traces Study Collection

Wiener Werkst?tte: Textiles and their design

This
book presents new research and archival findings on the textile and
fashion designs of the Wiener Werkst?tte movement (1903-1932). Textile
specialists, art and design historians offer insights into the most
important collections and archives in Austria, Switzerland, and the US.

The
publication explores works by lesser-known female textile artists; the
influence of Eastern European folk art, Japanese patterns, and
ornamentation textbooks on textile designs; applications in fashion,
interior design, film, theater; and marketing strategies used to enter
new markets in the US.

It includes numerous illustrations of
textile samples, many drawn from the Cotsen Textile Traces Study
Collection (George Washington University Museum / Textile Museum), one
of the largest collections of Wiener Werkst?tte fabrics in the US.
