Global Art • 1926
The Bauhaus school building, designed by Walter Gropius (1883–1969), is completed in Dessau, Germany. It will relocate to Berlin in 1932, closing its doors in 1933 as a result of Hitler's anti-modernist stance.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
