2009.32.5.1-2 Josef Maria Olbrich, "Muster Nr. 2000" fish knife and fork

Progressive architect Joseph Maria Olbrich was one of the founders of the Vienna Secession, along with Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Josef Hoffmann. One of Olbrich’s most famous—and at the time most controversial—buildings was his Secession Hall of 1897, where participating modern artists displayed their work in a series of regular exhibitions. While derided as “the golden cabbage” for its gilded, foliate spherical cap, its bold form became an icon of the new artistic movement and remains one of the city’s landmarks. Widely published, Olbrich’s work had a profound influence upon the artistic legacy of Vienna, brought to the United States directly through examples seen in the German and Austrian displays at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.

I uploaded the "Modern Opulence in Vienna: The Wittgenstein Vitrine" label copy to TMS as a new Text Entry. 

I updated Provenance, Exhibition History, Bibliography, and Published References in TMS. 

I updated the constituent records for Joseph Maria Olbrich, Clarfeld & Springermeyer, and Ludwig Zeich to include Nationality and birth/death or start/end dates. Further research revealed that Clarfeld & Springermeyer and Ludwig Zeich are two companies, the former produced blanks that the latter finished.
