The work of the pioneers of modernism vividly presented
Bauhaus. Updated Edition by TASCHEN Verlag is a comprehensive and detailed tribute to the most influential school of architecture, design and art of the 20. century.

This volume, based on a wealth of documents from the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin, tells the story of an idealistic community of artists and architects who were determined to fundamentally rethink design and create a better future.
From Josef Albers and Marianne Brandt to Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and many others, the work of these pioneers of modernism is vividly portrayed.
