Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity
This survey is MoMA’s first major exhibition since 1938 on the subject of this famous and influential school of avant-garde art. Founded in 1919 and shut down by the Nazis in 1933, the Bauhaus was a hotbed of creative thinking, re-examining all the ways of modern life, and influencing everything from architecture to fashion, from painting to furniture-making. This ambitious survey of over 400 works dissects the Bauhaus movement through exhibits, a “lounge,” and hands-on art-making workshops. It includes not only works by the school’s famous faculty and best-known students—including Josef Albers, Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, but also a broad range of works by innovative but less well-known students, suggesting the collective nature of ideas.
