Gunta Stölzl Archive Finds Home at Museum für Gestaltung Zürich

The archive of Bauhaus master Gunta Stölzl, containing fabric samples from her prolific period of work, has found a permanent home at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich. Stölzl, a master at the Bauhaus, opened a weaving workshop during her exile in Zurich. The Museum für Gestaltung will now house this collection of textile patterns created during what is described as a rich creative period. In a separate exhibition, the sculptor Auguste Rodin is being presented through the eyes of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Rilke wrote numerous commentaries on the work of the French sculptor, and these writings are now being placed in direct dialogue with selected works by Rodin in an exhibition. The show juxtaposes Rilke's textual observations with Rodin's sculptures, offering a literary perspective on the sculptor's oeuvre.
