Vally Wieselthier Biography

Valerie Wieselthier was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Her father, Wilhelm Wieselthier, was a lawyer. She attended the   Wiener Frauenakademie   in Vienna from 1912 to 1914 and studied at the   Vienna School of Applied Arts   with   Rosalinda Rothhansl ,   Kolo Moser ,   Josef Hoffmann , and   Michael Powolny   from 1914 to 1920. In addition, she worked as an auxiliary nurse during the First World War. From 1917 to 1922, she worked for the   Wiener Werkstätte . From 1922 to 1927, she ran her own ceramic workshop in cooperation with the Augarten porcelain factory, which was newly founded in 1923, but also with other companies such as   Friedrich Goldscheider ,   Gmundner Keramik   and   Lobmeyr . Her expressive and humorous porcelain figures attracted attention at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs etindustrials modern in Paris in 1925 and are considered typical examples of the   Art Deco   style. From 1928, the artist increasingly moved her center of life to the United States. She went to the   International Exhibition of Ceramic Art   in New York City in October 1928. In 1933, she moved to Chicago with Paul Lester Wiener and worked as a designer for the Contempora Group and the   Sebring Pottery Company . Her use of lead glazes and the potential effect of   lead poisoning   on her mental and physical health have not been evaluated.

She died on September 1, 1945 of stomach cancer in a New York hospital.

Her work is held by many museums, including the   Metropolitan Museum   and   Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna .
