About the Item
GUSTAV GURSCHNER (Austrian, 1873-1970), a sculptor, attended the School of Applied Arts in Vienna in 1888. Working under several artists, his time in Paris in 1897 proved to be most influential with regards to his stylistic development. He embraced Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, as it was known in Austria. Part of the avant-garde movement, he participated in the inaugural exhibition of the Vienna Secession in 1898, maintaining close ties with those who later broke away to form the Weiner Werkstatte. From 1904-1908, he was a member of the Austrian group, Hagenbund. In addition to creating sculpted works including large-scale commemorative pieces and commissioned works by Emperor Franz-Josef, Gurschner created medals and was quite well known for his Art Nouveau bronze and glass lamps. Examples of his work are found in the Berg-Isel Museum in Innsbruck and the Musée Galliera in Paris.
The firm, JOHANN LOETZ WITWE, was a producer of decorative glass located in a Southern Bohemian town which is today known as Kláštersky Milyn in the Czech Republic. Under various ownership from 1858 until they ceased operation for good in 1947, their Art Nouveau glass produced between 1897-1904 is their most prized. Inspired by Tiffany Favrile glass, Loetz produced glass with a high level of metallic iridescence. Winning critical acclaim, the firm received the Grand Prix in 1900 at l’Exposition Universelle held in Paris. Key designers for Loetz during this era were Franz Hofstätter and Eduard Prochaska under the directorship of Maximillian von Spaun. While it is possible to find examples of Loetz glass signed and stamped, the majority dating from this period are unmarked.
