Sobre este artículo
Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1999. Cloth, xx, 283 pages, illustrations; 24 cm. Revised edition of Bauhaus-Architektur: die Rezeption in Amerika, 1919-1936. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "After the Bauhaus's closing in 1933, many of its protagonists moved to the United States, where their acceptance had to be cultivated. In this book Margret Kentgens-Craig shows that the fame of the Bauhaus in America was the result not only of the inherent qualities of its concepts and products, but also of a unique congruence of cultural supply and demand, of a consistent flow of information, and of fine-tuned marketing. Thus the history of the American reception of the Bauhaus in the 1920s and 1930s foreshadows the patterns of fame-making that became typical of the post-World War II art world." - Publisher.
