First edition in English of this retrospective monograph/exhibition catalog on the renowned Austrian artist and designer Dagobert Peche, published in 2002 by Yale University Press in conjunction the Neue Gallery, following its original publication in German in 1998. Edited by Peter Noever with a foreword by Ronald S. Lauder and contributions from Anne-Katrin Rossberg, Sabine Plakolm-Forsthuber, Christian Witt-Dorring, Waltraud Neuwirth, Nina Claudia Trauth, Nikolaus Schaffer, and others. Per the publisher, “Dagobert Peche (1887-1923) was one of the key figures of the Austrian arts and crafts movement. Along with Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, Peche determined the character of the Wiener Werkstätte with his designs. This catalog aims to expand the understanding of Austrian arts and crafts at the turn of the twentieth century and to give Peche’s work—which ranges from interior and exhibition design to furniture, fashion and textile design, ceramics, glass, metalwork, jewelry, and wallpaper—its proper due in this rich context.” Large 4to (9.25” x 11.75”), green cloth boards with pictorial dust jacket, 512 pages with 360 color and 140 b/w illustrations, many full-page. A sumptuously produced and increasingly elusive title. Minor bumping and rubbing to dj. Otherwise NF.
