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.

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.
