Anni Albers Wasn't Afraid to Start From Zero

Packed with lively detail and illuminating anecdotes, Nicholas Fox Weber's Anni Albers: A Life traces the historic sweep of the artist's biography and career, from her birth to a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin in 1899 to her 1933 escape from Nazi Germany to her later years in Connecticut. Her brilliant and independent mind, unsentimental practicality and determination, acidic zingers, and warm humor shine through in this nuanced, unvarnished portrait, with an almost familial closeness that's one of its greatest strengths.

This Walter Gropius Wonder Narrowly Escaped Demolition-and Gained a Stained Glass Masterpiece

Gropius, who from 1919 to 1928 directed the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, designed the house in 1921-22 for lawyer Fritz Otte. The property is considered a dramatic evolution of Gropius's earlier seminal Haus Sommerfeld, which was also located in Berlin, but destroyed in World War II. The Bauhaus founder embraced a forward-looking approach with an unadorned, sharp-edged structure that rejected the heaviness of 19th-century historicism.
