An unmissable book for Bauhaus fans, created to accompany the exhibition ‘The whole work a bauhaus – Die ganze Welt ein Bauhaus’

A series of fascinating essays which examine the Bauhaus’s multifaceted forms of expression, which go far beyond the constructivist language of the 1920s. Taking former Bauhaus student Fritz Kuhr’s 1928 declaration, the case studies come from far and wide including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Moscow, Casablanca and more. They show the international impact of the school and how that influence evolved into something which was not exclusively a German enterprise. The book notes, ‘Avant-garde artists in many parts of the world viewed the Bauhaus from their distinct perspectives and intergrated it into their work. As a result, the Bauhaus became a worldwide engine for new social, cultural and political development, and was itself transformed by the diversity it encountered’.
