Résumé:
Anni Albers (1899-1994) was one of the twentieth century's greatest textile pioneers, and a versatile artist/craftswoman. Over the next 20 years, she created a series of prints that translated her textile innovations and her Bauhaus sensibility into this medium, introducing Mexican colors into her palette and exploring new lithography techniques, offset printing, photographic processes and silkscreen. This publication is a catalogue raisonne of these prints, creating at last a definitive collection of this extremely significant and previously underdocumented portion of Albers' output.

Résumé:
The catalogue presents over 250 works, in particular the seven original costumes of the Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet) together with rare documents of the time. The connection between the all-encompassing attempts at reform of the Bauhaus are discussed as well as Schlemmer’s vain attempts to reconcile his “unpolitical” art with the Nazi dictatorship’s ideas of state-controlled art. The focus will be directed towards Schlemmer’s lofty ethical demands, which always regarded man, typified as a “Kunstfigur” (artistic figure) as the “measure of all things”.

Résumé:
Max Bill (1908–1994) was a Swiss polymath bridging the worlds of art, design, and architecture. Dr. Angela Thomas, art historian and widow of the artist, retraces Max Bill’s biography, from his childhood to his training at the Bauhaus, his return to Zurich, and on until the late 1930s. She meticulously dissects Max Bill’s journey through his exchanges with his family, teachers, and peers–and their individual respective life trajectories. In a highly unconventional meander through extraordinary biographies, she thus exposes the web-like private and public constellations in which Bill evolved.

Résumé:
A collective founded in 1997 and based in Brussels, LAb[au] is a dynamic interdisciplinary art studio for architecture and urbanism, creating interactive artworks, audiovisual performances and its own software and interfaces. The name LAb[au] is a pun inspired partly by the Bauhaus, whose methodological and experimental reflection on the industrialisation of art helped to inspire the group. Their first monograph presents an important selection of the group's artworks, which they term MetaDeSIGN; an approach characterised by the establishing of systems and processes, whose new rules and geometries become the principle artistic creation.
