Venus 47 x 17 1/2 x 14 in. Note: Michael Powolny an Austrian designer, teacher and celebrated ceramic artist was, with his friend Josef Hoffmann, one of the key figures in the Wiener Werkstatte, a seminal group promoting the development of modern design. Powolny designed the two figures in the above offered lot for the Dianabad Bath House in Vienna. The Bruder Schwadron in Vienna provided all of the architectural ceramic furnishings for the bath house, including 8 of the Neptune sculptures. In the luxurious Dianabad, Neptune was displayed in the mosaic covered niches set high in the walls around the tiled splendor of the gentleman's bath. The Dianabad and the adjourning hotel were both severely damaged during the second World War and were later demolished. A pair of Powolny's Neptune figures were on display at the MAK, The Austrian Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna in 2014, during their exhibition on The Schwadron Brothers. Ref: E.

• 125. SILVER “WIENER WERKSTäTTEN”
  125. SILVER “WIENER WERKSTäTTEN” DRESS CANE -CA. 1900 -...125. Silver “Wiener Werkstätten” Dress Cane -Ca. 1900 -Large silver crook handle with a longer and pointed nose decorated in the best “Wiener Werkstätten” or Viennese Workshops taste with applied gorgeous stylized floral elements in a trendsetting, interlaced and modernistic Art Nouveau design. It bears the Austro-Hungarian Empire silver mark for small articles in use from 1867-1922 beside a “WB” maker’s mark and an “800” for the silver title and comes on a smooth and well-streaked partridge shaft and a brass ferrule. The distinctive iconic design of this cane makes of it a first rate collectable. Age complimented the cane and it survived in original condition. -The Wiener Werkstätte (literally Viennese Workshops), a similar idea to Ashbee’s Guild of Handicraft, was officially registered on May 19,1903 as a craftsmen cooperative, producing furniture, metalwork, textiles, glassware, and ceramics (the latter mainly in conjunction with the Wiener Keramik factory, founded in 1906 by Bertold Loffler and Michael Powolny). The Werkstätte’s aims were spelt out in the Arbeitsprogramm, a working program published by Hoffmann and Moser in 1905. Aesthetically, the Werkstätte pursued the innovations of Jugendstil as popularized by the Vienna Secession from 1897. From the outset, despite the patronage of Adolphe Stoclet and textile magnate Fritz Warndorfer, the Werkstätte struggled to achieve economic viability; Moser left, partly for money reasons, in 1907 but Werkstätte continued in existence until 1932. Last year Vienna celebrated the centenary of the Wiener Werkstätte with various museum and gallery exhibitions, which also showed many cane handles. -H. 3 ½” x 4”, O.L. 34 ½” -$500-$900

His connection to the stars, "including David Bowie, Jocelyn Wildenstein, and everyone in between," generated enthusiasm and started new trends in the design world. Schuerholz says his "dream as a kid was always to do something that would involve people from all over the globe." Fat Chance could be seen in dozens of Hollywood movies over the past four decades, including "Dreamgirls." Vally Wieselthier was born in Vienna in 1895. She attended the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, studying painting under Kolo Moser, architecture under Josef Hoffmann, and ceramics under Michael Powolny. Founding her own workshop in Vienna in 1922, she exhibited ceramic sculptures at the ‘Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes' in Paris in 1925. In 1927 she became head of the ceramics workshop at the Wiener Werkstätte. In 1932, after taking part in the ‘International Exhibition of Ceramic Art' at the Metropolitan Museum, she moved to New York and established a studio there, working closely with the Sebring Company and the Cowan Pottery in Cleveland, Ohio.
