Franz Barwig Works at Busch-Reisinger Museum

A selection of bronzes by the Viennese sculptor Franz Barwig (1868-1931) will go on view at the Busch-Reisinger Museum beginning October 21st. This exhibition will run through November at Harvard's unique institution of the art and culture of Northern Europe. Hours are 9 to 5 Monday through Saturday.

Barwig was active in Vienna during the early decades of this century, when the Secession and Wiener Werkstätte movements were making that city one of the art capitals of Europe. His works, primarily animals and human figures, partake to a great extent of the simplification of form combined with rich, decorative effect, so characteristic of Wiener Werkstätte works. There are also strong suggestions of Gustav Klimt's style in many of his sculptures.

In 1927 Barwig made his one visit to the United States, where he collaborated with the Viennese architect Josef Urbach on the fabulous Villa Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach. For this romantic building Barwig designed about 90 figurated capitals and a series of animal reliefs and garden sculptures during a period of about a year and a half. Photographs of his work and of the villa, specially taken for this exhibition, will also be on view.

The exhibition is being shown under the auspices of the Austrian Institute of New York.
