Scope and Content of Collection
This assembled collection contains printed materials, drawings, manuscripts,photographs and correspondence from the years
1919-1933, the span of 14 years when the Bauhaus existed. The collection also includes later items, from scattered years to
1984, that show the on-going influence of the Bauhaus. This influence may be traced in the letters from the more contemporary
artist Peter Schwarze-Heisterkamp (Blinky Palermo). The compilation includes photographic prints, essays and offprints, graphics,
clippings, sketches, weavings, curricula and correspondence. Items had been gathered into bundles (Konvolut) by topic, by
the previous owner(s).
