The Bauhaus bash

A series of exhibitions around the world will be held to mark the 90th anniversary of the legendary Bauhaus movement, to which luminaries of modern art, like Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and Vassily Kandinsky, contributed.

The celebration took off in Weimar, Germany, where the design movement began in 1919. The Workshops for Modernity exhibition is running at the city's Bauhaus Museum, one of the most comprehensive collections of designs from the Bauhaus school.

New York's Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) is heavily tied into the Bauhaus flag-waving, linking its own 80th anniversary celebrations to the Bauhaus' 90th, to produce a Bauhaus 1919-1933: Workshops for Modernity exhibition. The show will run from Nov 8, 2009 to Jan 25, 2010.
