Founded in 1903, the Wiener Werkstatte - "Vienna Workshops" - was a movement to unite the fine and applied arts with the goal of creating beautifully designed and crafted objects for every purpose. This illustrated, compact book offers an exhaustive record of the group, showing work from complex, integrated environments, such as Hoffmann's Palais Stoclet in Brussels and Cabaret Fledermaus in Vienna, to individual objects such as enamelled-glass stemware by Otto Prutscher and vibrantly coloured postcards by Oskar Kokoschka. ...

Product Description
The study of chaos expansions and multiple Wiener-Ito integrals has become a field of considerable interest in applied and theoretical areas of probability, stochastic processes, mathematical physics, and statistics. Divided into four parts, this book features a wide selection of surveys and recent developments on these subjects. Part 1 introduces the concepts, techniques, and applications of multiple Wiener-Ito and related integrals. The second part includes papers on chaos random variables appearing in many limiting theorems. Part 3 is devoted to mixing, zero-one laws, and path continuity properties of chaos processes. The final part presents several applications to stochastic analysis. ... Read more

Product Description
Founded in 1903 by architect Josef Hoffmann and designer Koloman Moser, the Wiener Werkstatte, or Viennese Workshops, gathered architects, artists and designers committed to making design excellence available to all. As a form, the postcard presented a perfect medium for the transmission of these ideals, and so it was that in 1907 the Werkstatte began publishing a series of numbered postcards, commemorating holidays, depicting new fashions and the sights of Vienna. All of the major designers who worked for the Wiener Werkstatte--including Josef Hoffmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele, Dagobert Peche, Moriz Jung, Rudolf Kalvach, Mela Koehler and Maria Likarz--contributed to this project, and consequently these postcards constitute an important genre within Wiener Werkstatte production. This fully illustrated volume, published for the Neue Galerie's Fall 2010 exhibition of Wiener Werkstatte postcards (drawn from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection), is the first catalogue raisonne in English devoted to this fascinating, hitherto little-known genre. ... Read more
