| Opplysninger | Ledsaget av et heft (2 blad) som inneholder forord ved utgiver, Lars Müller, og Astrid Bähr, og en introduksjon ved Sibylle Hoiman. - Opprinnelig utgitt: Münich : Albert Langen Verlag, 1925. - It will soon be 100 years snce Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy made the grand gesture of initiating and publishing the Bauhausbücher series. Their intention to document and disseminate in book form the New Design philosophy in all areas of its application testifies to the enthusiasm that prevailed at the Bauhaus. However, only a quarter of the planned titles had been published by 1930. War and turmoil thwarted the further expansio of the series. The original editions are almost impossible to find today. The goal of my initiative is to gradually make the fourteen Bauhausbücher available again in a form true to the originals and - in some cases for the first time - in English translation. With this project I am fulfilling my own bibliophile passion and my conviction that there is no future without a past. Only a solid knowledge of history can open up perspectives on how we can take advantage of the insights gleaned by modernism while perhaps also transcending them." -- Lars Müller
