Koloman Moser by Maria Rennhofer, ISBN 0500093067
Around 1900, the Viennese art scene was a hive of creative activity, and at its center was one of the most versatile artists of the age: Koloman Moser (1868-1918). He spent his childhood haunting the workshops of the school where his father worked, and the techniques that he mastered there gave him the perfect foundation for the arts and crafts movement that he helped to found and foster.
Trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule, where he later taught, he broke away from the establishment and in 1897 co-founded the Vienna Secession, whose first president was Gustav Klimt. Moser began his career with fashion drawings and book illustrations, but soon he was working in ceramics, furniture, jewelry, fabrics, and all aspects of interior design. In 1903, together with his friend and colleague Josef Hoffmann, he founded the Wiener Werkstatte, whose workshops set trends that spread far beyond the boundaries of Vienna.
As teacher, artist, and craftsman, Moser had an immense influence on the tastes of his time, and his talents ranged from stained glass to the design of stage sets and postage stamps. He devoted the last years of his life to painting, and in recent times his reputation in this field has steadily grown.
Maria Rennhofer, the biographer of Klimt, provides a comprehensive account of Moser's life and work, and of the flourishing artistic environment that he did so much to create and shape.

1000 Chairs
The ubiquitous chair in all its shapes and forms (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant garde armchairs. The book, a slightly abbreviated version of our classic title 1000 Chairs, devotes one page to each chair, displayed on its own as pure form, with biographical and historical information about the chair.
