Summary:
"Under the title "TIN GLAZING AND IMAGE CULTURE: The MAK's Majolica Collection in Historical Context", the MAK for the first time dedicates itself comprehensively to the majolica of the 15th-18th centuries in its collection. With international loans from the most important Viennese and Central European collections and a comprehensive catalog, the exhibition, developed by Rainald Franz as MAK curator for the Glass and Ceramics Collection together with Timothy Wilson of Oxford University, will make the history and objects of the world's best published majolica collection accessible to the public again for the first time. The MAK collection of majolica includes pieces from the former imperial collection from the Kunstkammer Ferdinand von Tirol in Ambras and the Este estate from the possession of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, as well as the majolica from Stift Neukloster in Wiener Neustadt, and documents the development of majolica art by means of top pieces. Objects by contemporary Italian majolica artists will complement the exhibition"-- Provided by publisher.
