Herbert Bayer Photographs, 1928-1934

September 2018 - June 2019

This exhibition of photographs, generously on loan from Jamie White and Andrew Sirotnak, and Paul Harbaugh, presents a selection of images Herbert Bayer created between 1928 and 1934, a time in which he was most prolific with the camera. Although he continued to use the camera throughout his life, he was never interested in continuing his work in photography as an art form. This small exhibition reveals yet another aspect of Bayer's work that is less known and deserves to be better appreciated, not just as a moment in time, but how it was an essential part of Bayer becoming the complete artist and embodying the ideals of the Bauhaus.

Herbert Bayer: Mountains and Convolutions

June 2018 - June 2019

Herbert Bayer: Mountains and Convolutions, 1944 – 1953, an exhibition featuring 28 of the artist’s most dynamic compositions, was presented in the Resnick Gallery in the Doerr-Hosier Building at the Aspen Institute. Organized by Bernard Jazzar, a leading authority on the work of this influential, Austrian-born artist, the exhibition focuses on a rich body of work Bayer produced during a seminal period in his career. Painting his landscapes in the years following the upheavals and dislocations of World War II, Bayer sought solace and inspiration in nature.
