Postcards of the Wiener Werkstätte

A rare glimpse into an exquisite art form, Postcards of the Wiener Werkstätte: Selections from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection celebrates the unparalleled design sensibility of the Vienna Workshop. Curated by Christian Witt-Dörring, this exhibition catalogue for Neue Galerie New York showcases the vivid, innovative graphics that transformed everyday postcards into collectible works of art. Created by luminaries like Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele, these designs embody the Werkstätte’s philosophy—elevating daily life through aesthetic refinement. Designed in collaboration with Pandiscio Green, the book reflects the workshop’s signature elegance, presenting a near-complete set of these masterful postcards and capturing the golden era of Viennese modernism before World War I reshaped the artistic landscape.
