Bauhaus Goes West: Modern Art and Design in Britain and America

Bauhaus Goes West is a story of cultural exchange between the Bauhaus émigrés in the years following the school's closure in 1933 and the countries to which they moved, focusing in particular on Britain and America. Taking as its starting point the cultural connections between the UK and Germany in the early part of the 20th century, and concluding with the Bauhaus's American legacy, the book offers a timely re-evaluation of the school's influence on and relationship with modern art and design.
