Vienna Moderne: 1898–1918; An Early Encounter Between Taste and Utility explores the remarkable cultural, artistic, and architectural transformation of Vienna at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing on the period when the city became a crucible for modernist thought, the book examines how artists, designers, architects, and intellectuals sought to reconcile aesthetic refinement with everyday function. It traces the rise of movements such as the Vienna Secession and the Wiener Werkstätte, highlighting figures like Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, and Otto Wagner, and showing how their work redefined the relationship between beauty, craftsmanship, and practical living. Through this lens, the book situates Vienna Moderne as a pivotal moment when art and utility were consciously united to shape a new vision of modern life.
