Runner 1922 by Gunta Stölzl

From textile artist and Bauhausler, Gunta Stölzl, the first ever female master at the school, an original artwork - designed in 1922 for serial production and shown at the very first Bauhaus exhibition in 1923 - brought to life in wool and weave.

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.
