The only full-length book I could find about the Italian photographer Wanda Wulz is in German!<br /><br />For people who are anywhere near New York City, the bookstore at the Neue Galerie has a large and outstanding collection on German and Austrian arts, literature, and history - in English and German.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-89927155582580425842013-06-11T07:45:25.224-07:002013-06-11T07:45:25.224-07:00I think that's the problem isn't it, too f...I think that's the problem isn't it, too few books about German/Austrian decorative arts in English. If I could read German fluently there wouldn't be a problem.

I'm looking forward to Christian Witt-Dorring's catalog of the current exhibition (Prestel). What I have read are books about Mosers and the group's work.<br />"Koloman Moser: Master Of Viennese Modernism" by Maria Rennhofer (Thames & Hudson)<br />and "Koloman Moser, 1868-1918" by Rudof Leopold of the Leopold Museum Prestel).<br />I thinkt there's a lot we don't know about Moser.Janehttp://www.thebluelantern.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086588560855961894.post-22187133473301234542013-06-10T13:25:15.485-07:002013-06-10T13:25:15.485-07:00Very odd, perhaps there are some personal issues t...Very odd, perhaps there are some personal issues there.

If I had known about "Designing Modern Vienna" then I'd have made a note.
