Guided tour of the Bayer Center’s newest exhibition, “Bauhaus Typography at 100”

Join us for a tour of our current exhibition, Bauhaus Typography at 100. First exhibited in San Francisco at Letterform Archive, this exhibition explores the school’s unique legacy in graphic design and typography through artifacts of its own making – its books, magazines, course materials, product catalogs, stationery, promotional fliers, and other ephemera — as well as objects created by its many students and teachers before and after the time of the school. The exhibition draws a throughline from the Bauhaus’s iconic style to the shape of typography today. 

Few design movements have shaped contemporary typography quite like the Bauhaus. Founded in 1919 by German architect Walter Gropius, the school embraced the tools of mass production in the creation of radical new art. Though the institution only lasted fourteen years, its influence endures. Bauhaus valued the integration of art, craft, and technology, which later became foundational principles in modern graphic design and today, just over one hundred years after its opening, those principles continue to influence the development of new techniques in graphic design and new typographic design. 

The exhibition, curated by Letterform Archive founder and curator Rob Saunders, features work by Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Joost Schmidt, and Herbert Bayer along with others whose innovative typographic contributions are often overlooked, including women such as Friedl Dicker.
