Furniture’s Modern Moment

Despite its important links to the Bauhaus, New York’s Museum of Modern Art hasn’t had a major show on the German school since the landmark 1938 exhibition curated by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. To mark the school’s 90th anniversary, MoMA is staging “Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity,” featuring icons like Marcel Breuer’s Wassily chair, artworks by Josef Albers and Paul Klee, and rediscovered objects rarely seen outside Germany. November 8–January 25, 2010–mark your calendar!

    I had a pair of these chairs and loved them. You know I have always been a fan of the Bauhaus school.
