Dagobert Peche: Ornamental Genius

"Dagobert Peche: Ornamental Genius" is the first exhibition devoted to this significant figure since the Neue Galerie's seminal exhibition of his work in 2002. This show will feature approximately 50 works, including objects from the museum's holdings alongside loans from local private collections. A highlight of this show is the inclusion of objects that can be traced to the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshops) of America, the firm's short-lived Fifth Avenue showroom that was open from 1922-23.
