London 1938: Defending ‘Degenerate’ German Art
In 2018 we worked on a Wiener Gallery exhibition commemorating London’s response to the Nazi campaign against degenerate art. 2018 marked the 80th anniversary of the exhibition “Twentieth Century German Art”, held in the New Burlington Galleries in central London between June and August 1938. The exhibition drew upon The Wiener Holocaust Library’s archival collections, and features original works from the original 1938 exhibition.
Engaging visitors
The exhibition drew upon the Weiner Holocaust Library’s archival collections and featured work from the original 1938 exhibition.
The Lost Photographs of Gerty Simon
The Wiener Library’s 2019 summer exhibition showcased the remarkable work of German Jewish photographer Gerty (Gertrud) Simon, and features many of her original prints from the 1920s and 1930s.
Spatial planning
The number eleven partners were commissioned to produce window dressings, labels, signage and artwork placement to produce a comprehensive exhibit within a relatively small spatial area.
The Satirical Cartoons of Stephen Roth
In 2013 the number eleven partners produced the design for an exhibition of the work of Stephen Roth, a prolific Czech artist whose cartoons lampooned fascist dictators and put a wry spin on political events during WWII.
Bold and impactful design
The Wiener Library's unique art collection includes several Roth originals, and they were given pride of place in this exhibition, alongside Roth's books and artwork by some of his contemporaries.
One Family, Three Cities, Six Years of War: A Family of Artists During the War and the Holocaust
This 2017 exhibition traced the story of one family’s experiences of separation, persecution and survival during the Second World War and the Holocaust.
The exhibition featured family documents and original drawings of the family of Franciszka Themerson and her niece Jasia Reichardt. Number eleven produced dynamic timelines which incorporated original drawings while getting a lot of information across in a small space, but with an effective and understandable approach.
