Very glad to have been able to help. There’s just one more typo in the link to The Wiener Werkstätte now (it says ‘Weirner’ right now).
Great article! & lovely pics too!

I don’t have time for Frankfurters or Vienal Snitzal…i am a vegetarian and i admiit to being prejudiced…i know what i like and like all Individuals i am a master of “what i know”…i would never join a club that would let the likes of me in…true exclusivity is the “numero uno”…one of a kind…

I am not alone
I am sharing my house with…
A giant spider

Have a nice day…pete mcclure.

Hi, you refer to a logo: ‘Wiener Werkstätte’ but your text says ‘Weiner Werkstätte’ – I just wanted to let you know that the German word ‘Weiner’ could refer to a person who cries (a cryer, if there was such a word?) but ‘Wiener’ is the correct spelling. That would be a person from Vienna (Wien), or anything else to do with Vienna (adjective) or, in some parts of the world, a hot dog – a Frankfurter (just thought I’d throw that in for a laugh. Honest truth though!). The hot dog is not known as a Wiener in Vienna though, funny that! I think they might call it a Frankfurter… (Whereas people in Frankfurt don’t call it that, but I digress severely…)

Just thought I should let you know. Please feel free to delete my comment, it is quite nit-picking after all, but I would be delighted if you could correct the typos. I see them everywhere, you’re not the only one.
All the best!
Very interesting article, I enjoyed it.

@peter Hi mate! thanks for coming back! well that hirst scull has its name very deserved! “For the love of God!” that is perfect for the “Paris Hilton” era. I am agree with with about the money, not only with are, with everything that has to do with passion! money is not on the equation, if you get it is as result. Not as an objective.

Wonderful collection. No doubt, people before are more artistic than people now. They express their most creative side in their master piece.

Hi it’s me again…the media so is fixated with all this hyped-up contemporary crappola masquerading as art that it would not recognise “Real Art” if it hit them in the face…that Hirst Scull is the biggest piece of Kitsch in the History of Art…it’s a good business if you can break into market and if you have the resources to destroy The Cartels…but don’t under-estimate the intelligence of ordinary people…Real Art has NOTHING to do with money!
I am much more impressed with the truly Great Art made from “mud”…otherwise referred to as ceramics…in Japan their master potters are more highly revered than flash in the pan artistes…and what about: mandalas, talismans, kolams, yantras, Islamic-art, Celtic-art…the list goes on & on…let us see more of Folk-Art & have a ModernDayRennaisance…Amen
