László Moholy-Nagy Book order

In 1929, Berlin’s Martin-Gropius-Bau hosted the “New Typography” exhibition, featuring László Moholy-Nagy, a prominent designer who had recently moved from Dessau. He created a room titled “Wohin geht die typografische Entwicklung?” (“Where is typography headed?”), showcasing 78 wall charts that traced the evolution of the “New Typography” since the early 1900s while speculating on its future. These charts combined Moholy-Nagy’s own designs with advertising prints from fellow Bauhaus artists. The “New Typography” movement of the 1920s revolutionized graphic design, departing from tradition to establish a modern advertising aesthetic grounded in artistic principles. It emphasized standardized typefaces, industrial DIN norms, and values like legibility and clarity, reflecting the ideals of constructivist art. This publication marks the first comprehensive presentation of Moholy-Nagy’s rediscovered wall charts from Berlin’s Kunstbibliothek. Esteemed authors contribute to this alphabetized collection, exploring concepts from “A” for “Asymmetry” to “Z” for “Zukunftsvision” (“vision of the future”). Through these pages, the typographical innovations of the 1920s avant-garde are vividly revived, inviting readers to engage with a rich world of ideas.

Moholy-Nagys Bemühungen um die Anerkennung von Fotografie und Film als gleichwertige künstlerische Mittel zur Malerei werden in diesem Band der Bauhausbücher umfassend dargelegt. Der ungarische Künstler fordert eine radikale Reform der künstlerischen Instrumente und einen Funktionswandel innerhalb der visuellen Künste, um die fotografischen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten weiterzuentwickeln. Neben theoretischen und technischen Ansätzen bietet Moholy-Nagy einen detaillierten Überblick über die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, die das fotografische und filmische Schaffen bereits 1925 bot. Diese englische Neuübersetzung orientiert sich an der Gestaltung der deutschen Erstausgabe von 1925 und enthält einen separaten Kommentar. Mondrians Essays erscheinen hier erstmals in der Auswahl und Gestaltung der ursprünglichen Ausgabe. Die Neuausgabe kombiniert die englische Übersetzung von Sibyl Moholy-Nagy aus 1953 mit der Materialität der deutschen Erstausgabe. Der Band bietet einen internationalen Kontext zur Architekturgeschichte des Bauhauses und dokumentiert dessen Reformgedanken. Die von Gropius und Moholy-Nagy herausgegebene Zeitschrift gibt der Avantgarde eine authentische Stimme und soll die internationale Diskussion über das Bauhaus ankurbeln. Begleitend zu den Faksimile-Einzelheften gibt es einen Kommentarband mit Inhaltsverzeichnis, englischer Übersetzung aller Texte und einem wissenschaftlichen Essay zum historischen Kontext.

This book offers a panorama of recent scientific achievements produced through the framework of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere programme (LBA) and other research programmes in the Brazilian Amazon. The content is highly interdisciplinary, with an overarching aim to contribute to the understanding of the dynamic biophysical and societal/socio-economic structure and functioning of Amazonia as a regional entity and its regional and global climatic teleconnections. The target readership includes advanced undergraduate and post-graduate students and researchers seeking to untangle the gamut of interactions that the Amazon’s complex biophysical and social system represent. 

In 1936 the first and only issue of the magazine telehor (Greek for television) was released in four languages, as a special edition on and by Lászlo Moholy-Nagy. To celebrate its 75-year anniversary a facsimile reprint of the magazine will be produced, accompanied by a commentary volume. The reprint makes the magazine accessible again in terms of its artistic and theoretical-historical dimensions. Particular attention has been paid to the production process. Thus the volume appears spiral-bound, an ultramodern technique in the mid-1930s. The commentary contains an editorial statement that places telehor in the context of the art and media of the 1920s and 1930s and unlocks the position of the artistic avant-garde at the intersection of two epochs.

This volume chronicles documented visits to the pre-Columbian city of Tikal in the century following its discovery in 1848 and presents the post-Conquest material culture recovered by the Tikal Project in the course of its investigations.

This companion volume to a major exhibition of the work of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy highlights the extraordinary range of his prolific career. Throughout his career Moholy-Nagy produced brilliant works in painting, film, photography, sculpture, set design and typography. A leading proponent of the Bauhaus School, he strove to apply artistic principles to every aspect of daily life. This companion volume to a retrospective features 170 works from all phases of Moholy-Nagy's career. Essays on his involvement with the Bauhaus School; his late paintings; his photographs, photograms, and photosculptures; and his accomplishments in the field of graphic art are complemented by numerous color illustrations. The book also documents the reconstruction of a never completed work, The Room of Today, which incorporates the most important themes Moholy-Nagy brought to his art. Readers viewing his work for the first time, along with those already possessing a deep appreciation for his art, will celebrate this long-overdue volume.

The United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 initiated numerous programs focused on assessing, managing, and conserving the earth's biological diversity. A significant topic was the mountain environment, particularly the alpine zone, which consists of treeless regions at high altitudes. Despite its small land coverage, the alpine zone is home to a diverse array of plants, animals, fungi, and microbes uniquely adapted to cold conditions. This region is crucial for global biodiversity and provides essential resources for both mountain and lowland inhabitants. However, human-induced changes such as soil erosion, habitat loss, genetic diversity decline, and climate change threaten these ecosystems. The European Community Biodiversity Strategy emphasizes that the global loss of biodiversity and the interdependence of species and ecosystems necessitate coordinated international efforts. Effective biodiversity management requires a solid understanding of its qualitative and quantitative aspects at various scales. This is especially vital for mountains, which are significant biodiversity hotspots both in absolute terms and when compared to surrounding lowlands.
