Dagobert Peche and the Wiener Werkstätte

Dagobert Peche (1887-1923) was one of the key figures of the Austrian arts and crafts movement. Along with Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, Peche determined the character of the Wiener Werkstätte with his designs. This catalogue aims to expand the understanding of Austrian arts and crafts at the turn of the twentieth century and to give Peche's work-which ranges from interior and exhibition design to furniture, fashion and textile design, ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewelry, and wallpaper-its proper due in this rich context.
