New York Museum of Modern Art New York Livres

On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, this profusely illustrated, comprehensive publication with around 400 colour illustrations reexamines and reevaluates the art school's history and influence. In this collaborative project by the three leading institutes at the former sites of the Bauhaus's activities (the Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, and the Bauhaus-Museum der Klassik Stiftung Weimar) the historic Bauhaus and the trail of its reception are closely examined and analyzed based on 68 selected highlights, including the hitherto neglected aspects of the Bauhaus during the period of National Socialism as well as its international propagation and commercialization

More than 500 photographs of people from all over the world illustrate those moments and feelings in life that all men share. Reissue.

At the core of The Museum of Modern Art's new building in Midtown Manhattan are dramatic and expansive new galleries devoted to showcasing the Museum's world-famous collection of international contemporary art. Contemporary Highlights presents this impressive collection in a portable size. This new handbook features curators' selections of the most significant artworks of the past twenty-five years. Interweaving 250 highlights from the Museum's seven curatorial departments - architecture and design, drawing, film, media, painting and sculpture, photography and prints, and illustrated books - this volume presents a broadly chronological overview of the innovative, provocative and always fascinating art of the past quarter century. Each work is presented on its own page in full colour, and each is accompanied by a brief and accessible essay outlining the work's significance. As a companion to MoMA Highlights or on its own, Contemporary Highlights is an indispensable publication for those interested in contemporary art and the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
