Back in Print! Bauhaus 1919-1933

One of the most important books on our list, ever, MoMA’s superb overview, Bauhaus: 1919–1933, Workshops for Modernity, features nearly 500 reproductions of the objects, furniture, architecture, graphic design, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater, costume design, painting and sculpture of the great twentieth-century Modernist aesthetic experiment brought down by Nazi distaste for the new (and the Jew) and the ravages of war. Featuring essays by the great Bauhaus scholars of our own time, this is the definitive volume on the subject and a must-have for any and every art, photography or design bookshelf. Featured image is Lucia Moholy's "Untitled (Edith Tschichold)" (1925-26).
