Plate 120 by Gunta Stölzl

This work by Gunta Stölzl was originally created on paper at the Bauhaus in the 1920’s.

Stölzl is known for her textiles as well as being one of the few women to teach at the Bauhaus. She was the only woman to hold a senior role in the faculty, and was a mentor to Anni Albers.

Stölzl is arguably the single most influential figure in the modern history of Western woven art. Under her leadership, the Bauhaus weaving workshop was transformed from a neglected department to one of its most successful facilities. During her tenure, she updated the focus from pictorial work to more industrial designs, introducing radical ideas from the world of modern art to weaving, and initiated experiments in materials and methods that helped shift weaving into the modern age.
