In this recorded webinar, Sabine Wilson, Ph.D, AAA, Sarah Morthland, AAA and Christina Japp, AAA will present an overview of the Bauhaus that will include fine art, photography and design.

First, Sabine Wilson, Ph.D., AAA, will discuss the Bauhaus Manifesto and Vorkurs with color theory and the grid system, which had an important influence on artists of the next generation. She will also talk about the teachings and art of Bauhaus masters including Johannes Itten, Gerhard Marcks, Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Josef Albers.

Next, Sarah Morthland, AAA, will use photographs to “set the scene,” providing illustrations for a quick overview of the timeline of the Bauhaus (1919 – 1933), its underlying premise, and associated teachers and students. Concurrently, the photographs illustrating this section will be addressed as discrete works of art, with discussion about the makers, print characteristics, and market value. The segment will end with an overall discussion of the marketplace for Bauhaus photography.

In the final segment, Christina Japp, AAA, will discuss the influence of Bauhaus on today's design. Christina will address various workshops and the different masters, including Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, Erich Diekmann, Mies van der Rohe, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Wolfgang Tuempel, Otto Lindig, Theodor Bogler, Marguerite Friedlaender and Gunta Stölzl. Christina will examine Marianne Brant's role and success as a woman in the typically male-dominated metal workshop, and discuss the sale that she handled at Sotheby's of Marianne Brandt's iconic MT49 teapot, as well as pricing for various Bauhaus design works.
