Summary:

"In 2018, we celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth by publishing an overview of his work that, besides showcasing his major achievements, also shines a light on lesser-known aspects of his creative genius. Each of the twelve special issues focuses on a different topic, ranging from early Art Nouveau objects to Behrens's essays on the theory of art and architecture"--Slipcase.
