Herbert Bayer (1900-1985), Aging Star, Silkscreen
Est: $400 - $600
Property from a Private Collector, Savannah, GA Description: Herbert Bayer (American/Austrian, 1900-1985), Aging Star, 1968, Silkscreen, pencil signed and dated '68 lower right and numbered 55/70 lower left, silkscreen in tones of white, green, blue and purple, with 'Mindy Friedman Horn Conservation' 1999 report attached to verso, in a silver metal frame. Frame size: 37 3/8 in. x 37 3/8 in. Artistic polymath Herbert Bayer was one of the Bauhaus’s most influential students, teachers, and proponents, advocating the integration of all arts throughout his career. Bayer began his studies as an architect in 1919 in Darmstadt. From 1921 to 1923 he attended the Bauhaus in Weimar, studying mural painting with Vasily Kandinsky and typography, creating the Universal alphabet, a typeface consisting of only lowercase letters that would become the signature font of the Bauhaus. Bayer returned to the Bauhaus from 1925 to 1928 (moving in 1926 to Dessau, its second location), working as a teacher of advertising, design, and typography, integrating photographs into graphic compositions. He began making his own photographs in 1928, after leaving the Bauhaus; however, in his years as a teacher the school was a fertile ground for the New Vision photography passionately promoted by his close colleague László Moholy-Nagy, Moholy-Nagy’s students, and his Bauhaus publication Malerei, Photographie, Film (Painting, photography, film). Most of Bayer’s photographs come from the decade 1928–38, when he was based in Berlin working as a commercial artist. They represent his broad approach to art, including graphic views of architecture and carefully crafted montages. (MoMA) Measurements: Height: of image 35 1/4 in. x Width: 35 1/4 in.
