Following its reopening in 1919 the former state art school embarked on a radical new approach to art and education under the direction of Walter Gropius. The 1923 exhibition 'Art and Technology: A New Unity' offered the public its first comprehensive glimpse of the Bauhaus programme and its revolutionary synthesis of art craft architecture and design. The exhibition catalogue produced in a total edition of 2600 copies comprising 2000 in German 300 in English and 300 in Russian includes contributions by Gertrud Grunow Paul Klee Wassily Kandinsky László Moholy-Nagy and Oskar Schlemmer which offer rare insight into the Bauhaus's experimental teaching methods artistic philosophy and emerging theoretical principles. A landmark publication and an important primary document of the early Bauhaus that stands as a testament to the founding of one of the most influential institutions in twentieth-century art architecture and design.

Sélection.

1933Best.-Nr. 190263Anvers: Éditions Sélection 1933. Inscribed to the founder of Britain's first abstract art journal during the Paris visit that inspired it First edition presentation copy inscribed by Kandinsky to Myfanwy Evans on the title page "Mlle. M. Evans Comme souvenir de sa visite à mon atelier Kandinsky Paris 8 IX 34" "as a souvenir of her visit to my studio". In the summer of 1934 Evans visited Paris where she met avant-garde artists including Kandinsky Giacometti Arp Mondrian and Brancusi. The meetings were decisive: on 26 September Evans wrote to Kandinsky "I'm going to start an English magazine on abstract art but abstract only not surrealism" Barnett p. 44. The first issue of Axis published in January 1935 drew heavily on Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art a foundational text of abstraction. The issue also reproduced Kandinsky's "Drawing 1924"; the reproduction was made directly from this copy as shown by pencil annotations on page 43 in the hand of Evans's future husband John Piper directing the printer to retain Kandinsky's signature. Evans maintained her connection with Kandinsky - the second issue of Axis also included a Kandinsky illustration and Evans's article "Kandinsky's vision" and in 1937 Kandinsky contributed the essay "Empty Canvas etc" to her anthology The Painter's Object. Sélection was founded in 1920 and from 1928 its numbers became single-artist monographs. This Kandinsky number published in July 1933 was the last of the series. Edited by Kandinsky's close friend and early champion Will Grohmann it includes essays and tributes by Zervos Baumeister Seuphor Rivera de Ridder Cary and Galka Scheyer. It illustrates Kandinsky's prints from 1902 to 1932 and drawings from 1910 to 1932. Kandinsky assisted with the publication. Small quarto. Portrait and 15 full-page halftones after Kandinsky 48 full-page line blocks vignettes and title page ornament. Original brown wrappers printed in dark brown. Wrappers a little worn with book block loosening light soiling and toning: a good copy. Vivian Endicott Barnett Kandinsky in Paris 1985. unknown
