This retrospective, presented in collaboration with a consortium of the three Bauhaus collections in Germany (Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin; Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau; and Klassik Stiftung Weimar), is the first comprehensive treatment of the Bauhaus at MoMA since 1938 and the first major show in the United States on the subject in decades. With a wide diversity of objects, including examples of industrial design, furniture, graphics, film, photography, book design, weaving, theater, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition will highlight the school's revolutionary ideas of artistic education and production, as well as its enduring influence. Several of the key objects in the exhibition have never been shown in the U.S.

Quel rôle le dessin conserve-t-il à l'heure de l'ordinateur ?
À travers la présentation de projets récents, cette exposition consiste à analyser les pratiques actuelles du design et à les mettre en perspéctive avec des pratiques plus traditionnelles, afin de redéfinir la place du dessin préparatoire dans la génèse d'une oeuvre.
