Designer Joseph Maria Olbrich Austrian

Not on view

Olbrich was one of the most influential architects of the maverick Secession movement in Vienna, which rejected historicism. His best-known building is the exhibition hall he built for the Secession on the Ringstrasse, which carried above its portal the slogan "To every age its art; to art its freedom." He designed this chair for a suburban home outside Vienna.
