Best of Bauhaus
The definitive reference work, now in a compact format
In a fleeting 14-year period between two world wars, Germany’s Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideas for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology, which they applied across media and practices from film to theater, and sculpture to ceramics.
This best-selling reference work is made in collaboration with the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin, the world’s largest collection on the history of the Bauhaus. Documents, studies, more than 250 new photographs, sketches, plans, and models record not only the realized works but also the leading principles and personalities of this idealistic creative community through its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. From informal shots of group gymnastics to drawings guided by Paul Klee, from extensive architectural plans to an infinitely sleek ashtray by Marianne Brandt, the collection brims with the colors, materials, and geometries that made up the Bauhaus vision of a “total†work of art.
As we approach the Bauhaus centennial, this is a defining account of its energy and rigor, not only as a trailblazing movement in Modernism but also as a paradigm of art education, where creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to simultaneously functional and beautiful creations. The handy edition features artists Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich, and many more.
“... finally a book that brings a breath of fresh air to the lifeless literature on Bauhaus.â€

Bauhaus Updated Edition Bibliotheca Universalis Magdalena Droste 9783836565547 Books Reviews
- A wonderful book for anyone interested in this important time period. Walter Gropius, the head of the Bauhaus, was a visionary architect who designed (with a partner) the first truly modern building/factory, The Fagus factory. It was built between 1911 and 1913. It still stands today and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Nice feeling book and (when I purchased it) it was very affordable. It's a quality binding and printing, but it goes into a lot of background. I was hoping for more pictures and visual examples. However, it is not short of those, either. It is an enjoyable book.
- When I first opened this, I couldn't believe I only paid 10 doll-hairs for this elegantly designed Hardbound Coffee Table book on The History of Bauhaus. I never expected the book to be as big, full of photos, or as gorgeous as it really is. Large print text by art historian Magdalena Droste. Beautiful Black & White and Color reproductions (some full page) of the art, design, textiles, interiors, metal work, furniture, theatre, workshops, buildings, and architecture of the Bauhaus School (1913-1933). I have only skimmed over the writing which seems to provide an adequate, and at times, detailed overview of the Bauhaus. The binding appears to be good, but I would suggest you handle it with care. How this is being published for so little is beyond me. Taschen seems to have made quite a splash in the world of publishing with their affordable 25th Anniversary Archive Series.
Contents include
Preface
1. On the Origins of the Bauhaus.
2. Weimar Bauhaus-Expressionist Bauhaus.
3. Art and Technology-A New Unity.
4. Dessau Bauhaus Institute of Design.
5. Hannes Meyer Necessities, not Luxuries.
6. Mies van der Rohe The Bauhaus Becomes a School of Architecture.
7. Appendix. (Which includes a nice list of Photo Biographies of the major players.)
I have not included Sub-chapters within the individual Chapter headings. (Look inside the book for these.) There is no Index.
A wonderful and affordable book that belongs in every designer and artist's library, about a school of principles, design, and aesthetics that are still influential in the world of contemporary art and design.
Nice Work TASCHEN! I'm very pleased.
Enjoy. - If you have any interest in the Bauhaus this book is for you. The quality is amazing, as is any Taschen book I have seen. Nice photos compliment the history of the Bauhaus. This book does not play sides to any particular era in its history.
- I recieved this book promptly, in perfect (new) condition, still wrapped in the cellophane. It is a wonderful summary of the Bauhaus school, with full-page illustrations and tons of pictures of art from students and masters from the school. There is also a great little biography section for many of the "greats" who emerged from the school, at the end of the book. I would definately buy this book again, especially for the price!
- Very Nice product!
- Agree with everyone else. Amazing deal. Good mix of text and photos which suited me as I wanted to learn and not just look at pictures. Good quality. Bargain.
- very great and fast shipping A++++ Thank you so much!!
