A Golden Thread (1900-1938) | Part Two

This is the story of an architect, Otto Prutscher, of his city, Vienna, and of his children’s books, the collection of a lifetime. A Golden Thread (1900-1938) is divided into two separate yet complementary parts. 
In Part Two the focus shifts from the city to the collection, and in particular to the key works in the donation, many of them published by the Burgverlag bookshop. In addition to the books, the documentary also explores various places in Vienna, including the Lobmeyr glassworks and the premises of confectioners Altmann & Kühne, whose interiors show how art and craftsmanship came together in the work of such complete artists (Gesamtkunstwerkler) as Otto Prutscher in the early 20th century.
