This year marks 50 years of passion for the beauty of Wiener Jugendstil/Viennese Art Nouveau and Secessionism – 50 years of beletage. Celebrating this wonderful anniversary, it is a particular pleasure for me to present this year’s Maastricht catalogue, which places a special focus on the universal artist of Viennese Art Nouveau, Dagobert Peche.
The master pieces presented include the lounge suite for the ladies' drawing room of architect and art collector Wilhelm (Wolko) Gartenberg’s Paris apartment, shown at the 45th Secession exhibition in Vienna in 1913, a display cabinet representing Peche's early work, and an extraordinary, gilded mirror, created in 1921 also for Gartenberg and presented at the International Exhibition in Paris in 1925.
I am particularly pleased to be loaning numerous museum-quality objects ( in the catalogue’s first chapter) to the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) for the exhibition "Peche Pop – Tracing Dagobert Peche in the 21st Century”, on show from 11 December 2024 to 11 May 2025.
