About today... 😍 How exciting! A day to remember @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna Today’s post for @kunsthistorischesmuseumvienna by #kunstfueruns 👉 We are getting ready for our re-opening on Saturday! Of course, the safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority. Extensive safety measures are in place to ensure that your visit is an untroubled and enriching experience. On our website you will find all details (link in bio). As you can see, we already put the first signs in place in the Picture Gallery. 👉 Keep a distance of at least one metre to all persons who are not members of your own household. ✨ Stay tuned during the next days as we will share more #behindthescenes of our preparations, making you familiar with the regulations and measures for your visit. 🤗 #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna will be open every day from 30 May 2020 between 10 am and 6 pm. 🎈 Today's post for @bauhaus_archiv by #kunstfueruns 👉 This architectural model shows the ‘Caesar Cottage’ by Marcel Breuer. ✨ In 1937, Breuer moved to the United States and received a professorship for architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design with the help of Walter Gropius. Together with Gropius, he directed an office in Cambridge, Massachusettes, until 1941. Their partnership introduced a new model for designing American modern houses and set the stage for the blossoming of Breuer’s career as an architect in the United States. Breuer then established his own architecture office, which he moved to New York in 1946. In 1956, he founded the practice Marcel Breuer and Associates, Architects in New York. This realised a number of major projects in the United States and Europe (Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, UNESCO Building in Paris). The shift from residential projects to major institutional commissions represented an important turning point in his practice. 🙌 Follow the link in our bio now to discover the @metbreuer by listening to their awesome audio guide. It also provides vivid insights into Breuer’s life and work! Marcel Breuer, Caesar Cottage, original model from the architecture office Breuer, 1951, Photo: Gunter Lepkowski, Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin.

Inspired by the handlebars of his bicycle and with the help of the local Junkers factory, Breuer combined bent tubular steel with seating, back support and armrests of taut cloth. Contemporaries viewed this tubular steel furniture as the non plus ultra of seat technology. In addition to his first ’Wassily’ chair (as it was subsequently named), Breuer went on to systematically design all conceivable sorts of furniture in two versions: theatre seating, easy chairs, tables, chairs, stools. Since the licensing rights to his tubular steel furniture lay with Breuer himself – and not the Bauhaus – he tried marketing it himself. It was an attempt which soon failed. Had Breuer sold these rights to the Bauhaus instead of Lengye, a dealer who later passed them on to the Thonet company, the history of the Bauhaus might have been quite different; the high licensing revenues would have placed the school on a secure financial footing. In the United States Breuer also achieved fame as an architect. Join us tomorrow for a virtual short-trip to learn more about that… Marcel Breuer in his first tubular steel chair, unknown photographer, 1925 – 1926, Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin. Inv. No. F2010/97.

The now classic interiors of the masters’ houses inhabited by Gropius, Moholy-Nagy, Muche and Kandinsky are highlights in the history of ’New Living’. Space and furniture seemed to mutually reinforce the effect of the other and at the same time maintain a delicate balance. The interiors were presented as hygienic, easy to maintain, practical and functional. To fulfil their role in everyday life, furnishings had once again to become simple and cheap. The whole, however, was a sophisticated art form which made life itself a work of art. 🙌 Stay tuned tomorrow to see Marcel Breuer in his first tubular steel chair…
