This exhibition contributes to the exploration of professional photography in the 19th century. Using the example of the photographic publishing house Otto Schmidt, the presentation examines the insoluble connection between esthetics, economy, image consumption and social parameters.

The comprehensive exhibition at the Leopold Museum is the first to investigate the fascination Tilla Durieux held already for her contemporaries, and to explore the traces of this scintillating personality through portraits of all media. Featuring rarely exhibited archival material and international loans, the presentation highlights Durieux’s career, her social and artistic milieu as well as her life shaped by political upheaval.

What could the abbreviation "WW" stand for? We explore the most diverse art objects with this abbreviation in the Leopold Museum and dive into the world of the individual artisan workshops. With sketchpad and pencil we capture geometric shapes and work on them Christmas-like in the studio.
