POST-OTTO WAGNER: FROM THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK TO POST-MODERNISM

To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Otto Wagner (1841–1918), the MAK exhibition POST-OTTO WAGNER: FROM THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK TO POST-MODERNISM investigated Wagner’s role as the “Father of Modernism” and pointed out not only the context and the interaction between Wagner and other protagonists of early Modernism, but also the influence his epochal work had on his contemporaries, students, and following generations of architects and designers.
