The Bauhaus existed for only 14 years in Germany, but for the past
100 years its ideas have been passed on and its products
relaunched, imitated and further developed. Using 14 famous,
familiar, or forgotten objects, this book offers 14 case studies.
It examines questions such as how did the woman sitting on the
tubular-steel chair become the most famous anonymous figure from
the Bauhaus; whether the Haus am Horn in Weimar has a secret twin;
and why the tea infusers by Marianne Brandt which were created as
prototypes for industrial production always remained one-of-a-kind
pieces. This book presents art and design from the Bauhaus-Archiv's
collection, along with exceptional loans from international
collections. It sheds light on how unique work and series, remake
and original are inseparably linked in the history of the Bauhaus.
This is because Bauhaus artists did not see art and technology as
opposed to each other. Instead, they used technical innovations to
create exceptional works of art, and they took serial production
into account from the moment they began drafting their designs.
Reproductions, re-editions and remakes have made the Bauhaus the
20th century's most influential school of architecture, design, and
art, and this book offers a new take on the Bauhaus legacy.
