The rediscovery of the women artists of Viennese Modernism began in early 2019 with the "City of Women" exhibition at the Lower Belvedere. In 2020, the Belvedere continues this trajectory by dedicating an IN-SIGHT exhibition to Elena Luksch-Makowsky, one of the central protagonists of this period. At the beginning of the 20th century works by the artist were to be found in all major Viennese art institutions and media - including Ver Sacrum, Wiener Werkstätte, Secession, and Galerie Miethke.

The exhibition is dedicated to the Norwegian visual artist and architect Harald Krohg Stabell (1874-1963, who lived and worked in Ålesund during the reconstruction period after the city fire in 1904.
The The shows presents architectural drawings, watercolors and woodcuts with motifs from Ålesund and its surroundings.

Trencadís mosaics are the most identifiable images in the work of Antoni Gaudí. Architecture in Modernisme represents a synthesis of all the arts and its suitable use of decoration leads to a rich combination of forms, volumes, textures and also colours - colour that is primarily the result of the use of ceramic and glass mosaics.

This touring exhibition aims to explain the origin and evolution of trencadí mosaics and concludes with a process that deconstructs this technique to discover the raw material from which it is made. Original pieces and copies are therefore presented alongside photographs so that a great deal of the materials used can be identified.

On the occasion of the 150th birthday of Adolf Loos (1870-1933)  the MAK is presenting an exhibition that has been developed in cooperation with the Albertina:  "ADOLF LOOS: Private Houses". Throughout his life Loos applied himself to private and public housing. This exhibition focuses on private homes and presents design drawings, plans, photos, and models of his in most part luxuriously furnished single family houses, villas, and country houses. By way of contrast, the display will also include revolutionary social projects, such as buildings for the municipality of Vienna.

The Sitges Museums have prepared a series of activities for all kinds of audiences, both in person and online, to raise awareness of the women artists at the Sitges Museums.

A recognition to those women who have been part of the stories inside the museum with the creation of works or as inspirers of art. But also to women who have contributed to the construction of the environment, the territory, the society and culture of Sitges.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Otto Prutscher's death, the exhibition highlights the importance of his work for the development of Viennese Modernism. The show is dedicated to Josef Hoffmann's (1870-1956) in association with Otto Prutscher (1880-1949). Like Hoffmann an architect and designer, Prutscher was master of all materials used in the applied arts. He was an exhibition designer, a teacher, and a member of the most important reform movements in art from the Secession to the Wiener Werkstätte and the Werkbund.

Palau Güell is staging an exhibition dedicated to the painter Aleix Clapés until 30 May 2021. This Barcelona artist (1846-1920) was Eusebi Güell and Antoni Gaudí's inseparable travelling companion and favourite painter for many years. An artist of amazing expressive power, he was also the painter par excellence of the Palau Güell and the only painter involved in the original decoration for the building, both inside and out.

The exhibition presents one of the most outstanding works by Aleix Clapés that was thought to have disappeared more than a century ago. It is titled El peó (The Labourer, ca. 1886) and was discovered during the preparation of this exhibition. As explained by art historians Carlos Alejandro Lupercio and Josep Casamartina, there is a family legend according to which Leon Trotsky bought the work in Paris in 1920 and sent it to the Kremlin. Today it is known, however, that the painting never left Barcelona.

The new edition of the Barcelona Modernista Fair, which this year is dedicated to the versatile artist Alexandre de Riquer, is being staged both in person and online so that anyone who wants to take part can do so.

Another new addition this year is the Barcelona Modernista Fair website: http://www.firamodernistadebarcelona.cat, where you can check out all the activities and follow the events online: videos of Modernista buildings, games and much more. On 27 May, you can watch Lluís Bosch's online interview with Alexandre de Riquer specialist Eliseu Trenc.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) employed many designers, but only a handful of these individuals were selected to work in the enamel department, which Tiffany Studios employees somewhat enviously referred to as "little Arcadia." The exhibition displays around a dozen watercolor designs by these Tiffany artisans.

Due to the continued spread of the Coronavirus worldwide, the board and director of the Iconic Houses Foundation have been forced to reschedule this year's conference and house tours. After careful consideration, we believe that postponing the event to 1 - 7 June 2021 is the only viable option. Registration opens again on 1 June.

On Friday 11th June, the day "Designing the New: Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style" opens in Nashville, Tennesse, Frist Art Museum present a lecture by Alison Brown, curator of European Decorative Art and Design at Glasgow Museums, and curator of the exhibition.

Over a 21-year period, between 1896 and 1917, the architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh created some of his most imaginative interiors and decorative schemes for Catherine Cranston's four tearooms in central Glasgow. These commissions provided him with crucial opportunities to experiment with an increasingly sophisticated approach to interiors, furniture, and fittings, from mysterious murals inspired by Art Nouveau and Japan and iconic high-backed chairs to atmospheric dining spaces with palettes ranging from white-and-silver to warm stained wood, along with Chinese-influenced designs and boldly colourful geometry that anticipated the rhythm of Art Deco. His most three-dimensionally conceptual suite, for the Willow Tearooms (1903), achieved a new level of fashioning an interior as a total work of art. This illustrated talk presents Mackintosh's unique collaborations with Catherine Cranston through archive and object photographs, with behind-the-scenes insights from Glasgow Museums' conservation, reassembly, and restoration of some of his surviving tearoom interiors from Ingram Street.

This the exhibition aims to raise awareness of women painters in the late nineteenth century who dedicated their career to painting the flowers abundant in Catalan Modernisme yet who are so little known. We refer to the women artists who participated in the women's exhibitions at Barcelona's Sala Parés in the years 1896, 1897, 1899 and 1900.

In 1896, Sala Parés organised the first exclusively female show, as had been held in Chicago shortly beforehand. A wide array of women artists took part with the foremost aim of becoming known to the public.

These women's shows at Sala Parés became the turning point from which each artist could choose and pursue her career, a starting point for "normalising" these painters' artistic professionalism.

The most recurrent theme in such shows was flowers, which even merited a specific treatment for the still life. This was due to the fact that the women who enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, La Llotja, were prohibited from attending classes with nudes, hindering them from being able to choose a professional career in figurative or portrait painting.

These artists took the opportunity that society offered them and "used" flowers as a manifesto for their art. Gifted in composition and skilled in colour, some of them achieved notable results. In contrast, others pursued more irregular careers, while a large number disappeared from the art scene after marriage.

Curated by Art Historian, Consol Oltra, the show presents these women's works, some of which were exhibited at Sala Parés over a century ago.

This exhibition presents a wide and varied selection of paintings by Anglada-Camarasa in order to present his oeuvre from a personal, romantic perspective that recalls the layout of the Museum in Pollença. It provides a unique opportunity to learn more about the work of Anglada-Camarasa through a different exhibition approach from how the work has been shown in CaixaForum until now.

Highlights from the museum's extensive collection of Austrian art from the period 1890 to 1940 are on view, including major works by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, and Egon Schiele.

In the mood of summer flower magic, the Museum of the Riga Municipal Association of Cultural Institutions "Riga Art Nouveau Centre" is presenting a variety of elegant and colourful flowers depicted in early 20th century glass, porcelain and textile applied art works, as well as in paintings of Latvian artists.

The poppy is one of the most beautiful flowers of the summer, which has been appreciated by many artists, especially during the Art Nouveau period, as can be seen in this exhibition, showing about 200 artworks.

This major exhibition offers a unique insight into Rodin's processes, highlighting the crucial role of plaster in his practice. The exhibition evokes the informal atmosphere of the studio, where you will discover lesser-known pieces and new aspects of his most iconic works.

2 artists, 2 museums, 1 exhibition.

The exhibition proposes a new comparative view of the works of Rodin (1840-1917) and Picasso (1881-1973), who each had a profound and lasting impact on the art of their time and that of the generations to come. The exhibition does not aim to show what Picasso borrowed from Rodin, but rather to explore how elements of Rodin's oeuvre merged with periods in Picasso's artistic career.

Mucha Trust Collection celebrates the first major U.S. tour in 20 years. The exhibition is featuring a vast array of posters, illustrations, ornamental objects, and rarely seen sculpture, photographs, and self-portraits. Additional works from the NCMA's collection highlight the American interpretation of the European aesthetics that influenced Mucha as well as his close friendship with French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

The Mathildenhoehe Institute will celebrate the 150th birthday of Albin Müller (1871-1941) with the exhibition "Albin Müller: Architect, Designer and Teacher ". The show will emphasize Müller's professions as architect- designer and teacher in the years 1900 to 1914.

Muller's 150th birthday coincides with this year's recognition of Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As a central source of inspiration, the Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt offered Müller unique opportunities to create buildings and spatial art from 1906 onwards. With a further focus on Magdeburg, the exhibition will highlight another city where the artist achieved great success as a teacher at the School of Arts from 1900 to 1906, and as a designer for various companies.

Albin Müller established a productive exchange with colleagues such as Fritz von Heider, as well as former members of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony: Peter Behrens and Paul Bürck. The strong links between the cities of Darmstadt and Magdeburg as German centres of the reform movement are manifested.

"Young Poland: An Arts and Crafts Movement (1890 - 1918)" is the first major exhibition to explore the decorative arts and architecture of Young Poland (Mloda Polska), an extraordinary cultural movement that flourished in response to Poland's invasion and occupation by foreign powers.

The presentation is organised in partnership with the National Museum in Kraków and the Polish Cultural Institute, London. Co-financed by the Polish Minister of Culture, National Heritage and Sport.

The Museum of Modernisme in Barcelona (MMBCN) is reopening its doors for the exhibition "Paris-Barcelona", a large show focusing on nine outstanding women in the artistic scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

With more than 300 works, most of them pictorial, as well as sculptures, furniture and decorative arts on display, the exhibition offers a new vision of the relationship between the two capitals: Paris and Barcelona. The tour begins with models such as Madeleine de Boisguillaume, Stéphanie Nantas, Clo-clo, Júlia Peraire and Germaine Gargallo and concludes with the female vision of artists such as Suzanne Valadon, Georgette Agutte, Lucie Cousturier and Olga Sacharoff. It nonetheless attempts to create a dialogue between the models and muses of the day and the artists who immortalised them, such as Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Toulouse-Lautrec or Alphonse Mucha.

The exhibition features works from the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, Cau Ferrat in Sitges, Víctor Balaguer Library-Museum, AMYC Foundation and other private collections.

The insllation has been organised to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the gallery, the cultural enterprise of the Pinós-Guirao family.

The presention is accompanied by a publication that reviews the presence of women in the artistic and cultural environment at the turn of the century. The articles highlight the lives of these women, who in most cases have been silenced or little explained.

The last female portrait by Vienna's iconic painter, Gustav Klimt's Lady with Fan gazes seductively and with remarkable self-confidence into the distance. This vibrant painting is on show in Vienna again after more than a century. It will be presented with other examples of Klimt's last works in a special exhibition at the Upper Belvedere.

The exhibition has been exextended until 20 february 2022!

"Gaudí" is an exhibition organized by the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Musée d'Orsay. It is a large-format presentation  that brings together more than 650 architectural objects, design and furniture, works of art, documentation, plans and photographs. Twenty years after the celebration of the Gaudí Year, this exhibition moves away from the clichés and proposes a complete review of Gaudí's career.

The Jugendstilforum in Bad Nauheim opens its doors to the public with an exhibition devoted to ceramics.

Among the everyday objects produced by the Jugendstil, ceramics were of particular importance, as they could be produced cheaply and in series. Many people could afford them, and so the new Jugendstil ideas of form and decoration spread, especially with this material, which is the focus of this first exhibition.

On the occasion of his 150th birthday, the exhibition JOSEF HOFFMANN: Progress Through Beauty comprehensively documents for the first time the entire oeuvre of the architect, designer, teacher, and exhibition organizer Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), one of the luminaries of Viennese Modernism and the international life reform movement. With his indefatigable design work and teaching, Hoffmann cultivated an exemplary model of modern lifestyles based on a construction and product culture that was both shaped by craft and artistically ambitious. The show presents a cross section of Hoffmann's revolutionary design and his most important buildings, including the Stoclet House in Brussels (1905-1911) and the Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904-1905).

The exhibition creates an opulent tableau that offers uniquely rich and complex insights into the fascination of Vienna circa 1900 and the atmosphere of this vibrant period. Comprising some 1,300 items displayed across three floors, this semi-permanent installation presents the splendour and wealth of the artistic and intellectual achievements of this era through masterpieces from the Leopold Museum and notable permanent loan works from Austrian and international collections.
