Publishing Modernism: the Bauhaus in Print September 21, 2011

Drawn from the rare book collection of the National Gallery of Art Library, this exhibition highlights the works published by the Bauhaus and illustrates how changes in its printing activities reflect the evolution of the school. From a traditional printing shop focused on artists' woodcuts, engravings, and lithographs, to a typography workshop that would ultimately serve as part of an advertising department, visitors to the National Gallery of Art will see the growth of the school along with its leading role in the advancement of modernism.
