Photography significantly influences our image of the Bauhaus to this day. Many of these iconic photos were made by outstanding women photographers whose work has remained obscured for decades despite its impact. The spectrum ranges from portrait and architectural photography to photos for advertising and reporting, all the way to abstract and experimental imagery. “Bauhaus Books No. 1 – The Women Photographers” presents 25 of these women photographers from our collection for the first time and features numerous photos that offer insight into a fascinating chapter of rediscovered photographic history.
