FRIEDRICH KIESLER (1890–1965)
The Austrian architect Friedrich Kiesler emigrated to America in 1926 and was an extraordinary avant-gardist and radical modernist. This is reflected, for example, in his concept for Peggy Guggenheim’s Gallery in New York, for which the Correalistic Instrument was conceived. The private Friedrich und Lilian Kiesler-Foundation supervises his furniture collection produced by Wittmann in Austria.
