Bauhaus to Your House: Vallarino Fine Art Catalog Spotlights Designers' Personal Work

publication · 2026-08-14

Vallarino Fine Art has released a new catalog, 'Bauhaus to Your House: Personal Work,' highlighting the independent artistic practices of Walter Allner, Alexander Liberman, and Fred Troller. Collector and dealer Vincent Vallarino, who authored the catalog, argues that these designers' fine art and applied art practices were mutually influential, and that their personal work reveals a deeper engagement with the Bauhaus ethos. The catalog, which includes paintings, drawings, and prints, is staged to demonstrate that the designers' work is not merely decorative but embodies the Bauhaus goal of unifying function and aesthetic pleasure. Vallarino notes that viewing the three artists' personal work together reveals an overlooked dimension of Midcentury design, and that their independent practice shows the enduring spirit of the Bauhaus, which continues to shape modern design's visual language. The catalog features works such as Walter Allner's Untitled (#94) and Untitled (#77) from c. 1960–1970, Alexander Liberman's Untitled 1960 and Circle Path from 1952, and Fred Troller's Untitled works from c. 1939, c. 1959, and the 1970s.
