Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte sheds new light on the role that Jewish women played as artists, designers, patrons, and tastemakers in early 20th-century Vienna. This exhibition contains clothing, textiles, ceramics, toys, paintings, and more designed by this collective whose style and ideas helped shape visions of modernity in Vienna and beyond.
