DABF19 Public Talk: The Bauhaus Effect on the Fundamentals of Window Display
25 November 2019, 6pm
Kerry Meakin will give a fascinating presentation looking at the correlation between the Deutscher Werkbund, the Schule Reimann in Berlin and the Bauhaus.
In the 1920s cross fertilisation in the fundamentals of window display occurred between all three German institutions. Modern art practices were disseminated by display professionals in Berlin and given a marketing rationale, which had a profound effect on the applied art of window display. These modern techniques affected not only German display but were spread internationally.
