Fue entonces cuando empecé a excavar en mi memoria. Y me acordé de que existía un juego para niños de Albers, también de los años 20, que se llamaba 'Little Peg Dolls', verdaderamente extraordinario.
Pero sobre todo empecé a recordar que entre los trabajos de la Bauhaus había todo un universo de piezas para niños, mobiliario, juegos maravillosos, alfombras, muñecas... Algo bastante desconocido comparado con piezas clásicas y muy conocidas para adultos de la Bauhaus.
Así que me puse a recopilar los trabajos de Alma Siedorff-Buscher, Margaretha Reichhardt, Benita Koch-Otte ... y aquí os dejo unas cuantas piezas para tener en cuenta.
A few days ago I visited the Juan March Foundation in Madrid, where there was an interesting exhibition about one of the masters of the Bauhaus (1919-1933), Josef Albers (1888-1976): 'Minimum means, maximum effect'. His studies and experiments with the color, so precise, millimeter, and at the same time with high poetic and spiritual content, fascinated me immediately. I surprised with his simplicity and his use of limited means and resources: 'art as economy of form'. In the exhibition there were some really fantastic pieces of furniture: essential for lovers of this kind of historical pieces, as the set 'Stacking Tables'.
That's when I started to dig into my memory. And I remembered that there was a game for children by Albers: 'Little Peg Dolls', extraordinary. But mostly I began to remember that, between the work of the Bauhaus, there was a whole universe of pieces for children, furniture, wonderful games, rugs, dolls ....Something quite unknown compared to well-known Bauhaus classical pieces for adult.
So I started to collect the works of Alma-Buscher Siedorff, Margaretha Reichhardt, Benita Koch-Otte ... and here I leave a few pieces to consider it.
