Bauhaus Journal 1926–1931

Facsimile Edition

Edited by Lars Müller. Text by Astrid Bähr.

The Bauhaus Journal, now published in this gorgeous facsimile, is the ultimate testimony to the school's diversity and impact

One hundred years after the founding of the Bauhaus, it’s time to revisit Bauhaus, the school’s journal, as a crucial testimony of this iconic moment in the history of modern art.

This gorgeously produced, slipcased, 14-volume publication features facsimiles of individual issues of the journal, as well as a commentary booklet including an overview of the content, English translations of all texts and a scholarly essay that places the journal in its historical context.

Even during its existence, the influence of the Bauhaus school extended well beyond the borders of Europe, and its practitioners played a formative role in all areas of art, design and architecture. The school’s international reach and impact is particularly evident in its journal.

Bauhaus Journal was published periodically under the direction of Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy, among others, from 1926 to 1931. In its pages, the most important voices of the movement were heard: Bauhaus masters and artists associated with the school such as Josef Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Herbert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Gerrit Rietveld and many more. The centenary of the Bauhaus provides an ideal opportunity to reassess this history, to consider the ideals of the school and its protagonists through this graphically innovative publication.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

BOMB

In our historical moment, dominated by fake news and bullet-point history, this publication serves as a timely reminder of the value of primary sources. Challenging what has become a tidy narrative, bauhaus is pertinent reading for those interested in how enduring and far-reaching legacies can stem from the short-lived and the local.

Wallpaper

Edited by Lars Müller in collaboration with Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung, Berlin, this collection of Bauhaus journals presents a ‘significant written testimony of this iconic movement’.

Lars Müller's 'Bauhaus Journal' facsimile edition is a landmark in design publishing

Reproducing all fourteen of the Bauhaus's in-house quarterly, founded and overseen by Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy from 1926 to 1931, this remarkable facsimile edition is design-world gold. Slipcased with the first complete translation of the journals in English (or any other language), this volume is also a New York Times critic's pick this week. "I can only imagine how exciting it must have been to hold the first issue of the bauhaus journal in one's hand in December 1926 and then look forward avidly to the latest news from the modernist idea lab every quarter year," visionary publisher Lars Müller writes. "Produced quickly and at low cost, the journal breathes the avant-garde spirit, and its concise typography, inspired by Moholy-Nagy's design of the first issues, veritably insists on the urgency of the message it brings…" Featured here are the covers for bauhaus 1, volume 1, 1926; bauhaus 1, volume 2, 1928; bauhaus 2/3, volume 2, 1928; and bauhaus 4, volume 3, 1929. continue to blog
