On the occasion of the 130th birthday of Franz von Zülow, an artist shaped by a fashionable inclination toward rural life and the reflection of rural heritage, works on paper from the MAK collection and the artist´s estate will be exhibited. Von Zülow did his training at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, where he already created illustrations and designs for the Wiener Werkstätte. Active in many areas, Zülow designed textile patterns, carpets, ceramics, and interiors and developed new graphic techniques. His most important achievements in this area are the monthly pen-in-ink-drawn notebooks produced in a paper-cut stencil printing process from 1909 to 1915, subscribed to by artists such as Hoffmann, Klimt, and Schiele. Clearly evident in these works is his decorative, Jugendstil- derived surface art, which he combined with folk art inspirations. Arising at the same time were stage-like watercolors and scenic picture books along the lines of a diorama in expressive style.

Curator Kathrin Pokorny-Nagel, Head of Library and Works on Paper Collection

As part of the bookseries MAK Studies, a catalogue will be published in conjunction with the exhibition.

Les questions existentielles de la vie et la mort se retrouvent dans toute l´œuvre du peintre Albin Egger-Lienz (1868-1926), un des plus importants pionniers de l´Expressionnisme autrichien, à qui Le Belvedere consacrera une exposition au printemps 2014. Les peintures de guerre de l´artiste sont des avertissements impressionnants en souvenir des horreurs de la guerre et de la violence.

"Alphonse Mucha: An Insight into the Artist" is a major retrospective featuring over 240 works, including many that have never been shown in Japan before, alongside a wide range of oil paintings, studies, sketches, jewellery and posters from the Mucha family collection.

The exhibition will explore the artistic vision and ideals behind Mucha's works. Through his own words and works, visitors will gain an insight into his creative process, his ambitions and his achievements.

The exhibition will be organised in six sections representing important themes or phases in his career:

- Mucha the Czech
- Sarah Bernhardt & the Theatre World
- Le Style Mucha & Art Nouveau
- The Message of Beauty
- Paris 1900
- Visions for Humanity

Rare works such as a satin-silk edition of The Arts series, comprised of 4-colour lithographs: Dance, Painting, Poetry and Music will feature in the show.

This exhibition will be a great opportunity for all Mucha fans and art lovers to deepen their understanding of Mucha and his inner world.

"Paris 1900, la ville spectacle " invite le public à revivre les heures fastes de la capitale française au moment où elle accueille l´exposition universelle qui inaugure en fanfare le 20e siècle. Plus que jamais la ville rayonne aux yeux du monde entier comme la cité du luxe et de l´art de vivre. Plus de 600 oeuvres - peintures, objets d´art, costumes, affiches, photographies, films, meubles, bijoux, sculptures? - plongeront les visiteurs du Petit Palais dans le Paris de la belle epoque. Les innovations techniques, l´effervescence culturelle, l´élégance de la parisienne seront mis en scène comme autant de mythologies de ce Paris dont la littérature et le cinéma n´ont cessé depuis de véhiculer l´image dans le monde entier

This year, the Budapest ensemble of Alexander Bigot´s monumental architectural ceramics can be seen for the first time since the Paris World's Fair of 1900.

Throughout the five boroughs are more than 200 long-overlooked marvels of engineering and architectural beauty-the interlocking tile vaults built by Spanish immigrants Rafael Guastavino, Sr. (1842-1908), and his son, Rafael Jr. (1872-1950). The system of structural tile vaults developed by the Guastavinos-lightweight, fireproof, low-maintenance, and capable of supporting significant loads-was used by leading architects of the day, including McKim, Mead & White and Carrere &Hastings. Ellis Island´s Registry Room, Carnegie Hall, the Bronx Zoo´s Elephant House, and Grand Central Terminal all contain Guastavino vaults.

>Palaces for the People: Guastavino and the Art of Structural Tile is a major exhibition exploring the innovations the Guastavino Fireproof Construction Company (1889-1962) brought to the science and art of building. It was originally organized by MIT´s John Ochsendorf, who is a MacArthur Fellow; it is substantially expanded here to include some 20 key Guastavino spaces in the five boroughs.
