Bauhaus women : art, handicraft, design

Bauhaus Women is the first monograph on the female painters, photographers, architects, sculptors, and designers of the vanguard Bauhaus School, who helped shape the cultural history of the twentieth century. This volume celebrates the work of twenty women artists who created feverishly in all the teaching, workshop, and production branches of the Bauhaus - women who have been overlooked in the major art histories of our time and whose names, masterpieces, and extraordinary lives have only gradually become known to us. Featuring chapters on Gertrud Grunow, Helene Börner, Ida Kerkovius, Benita Otte, Gunta Stölzl, Anni Albers, Gertrud Arndt, Otti Berger, Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein-Marks, Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain, Ilse Fehling, Friedl Dicker, Lou Scheper-Berkenkamp, Lilly Reich, Alma Siedhoff-Buscher, Marianne Brandt, Florence Henri, Grete Stern, Ise Gropius, and Lucia Moholy, this work is completed by a detailed bibliography, a list of museums and galleries that exhibit works by Bauhaus women artists, and an index.
