A stunningly illustrated look at a strikingly diverse tradition, Biedermeier to Bauhaus is the only book available - in English or German - on its subject. From the Renaissance to the early 20th century, curator Sigrid Sangl traces the complex but characteristic interior design styles found throughout Germany, literally opening the doors to a variety of exceptional interiors.
Most of the featured residences - townhouses, royal palaces, artists' studios, and rural retreats - have never before been photographed.
Barbara and Rene Stoeltie's sumptuous full-color images, many specially commissioned for this book, convey both the grand scale and the distinguishing details of each style: 16th-century wood-paneled parlors with furniture in matching inlaid patterns; elaborate Baroque wall paintings inspired by exotic plant forms; sturdy, stalwart Biedermeier tables and chairs; the sinuous, ornamental curves of Jugendstil; and the simple, streamlined functionalism of the Bauhaus.
Reaching from the Baltic to the Alps, Biedermeier to Bauhaus includes maps and a list of places to visit.
