The untold history of Bauhaus students and instructors under Nazism is behind a three-part presentation taking place over the summer in the new exhibition Bauhaus and National Socialism, which opens tomorrow in Weimar, Germany.
From this month until September 15th, the country’s one-time capital will again become the centerstage for an examination of the last century and a time when Bauhäuslers were swept up in the day’s politics. The results put on display in the Bauhaus Museum Weimar, Schiller-Museum, and Museum Neues Weimar cover the school's inception after 1919 through the end of World War II.
Curators say it will “present a new, often uncomfortable history of the Bauhaus and its legacies,” with 450 objects included to bolster narratives of individuals such as Herbert Bayer and Ernst Neufert and the many students who were known to have died in German death camps.
Dr. Anke Blümm of Klassik Stiftung Weimar, Professor Patrick Rössler of the University of Erfurt, and Professor Elizabeth Otto of the State University of New York at Buffalo are responsible for curating the presentation.
