Material from Max Taut mostly for Die gläserne Kette

circa 1919-1920

Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathias Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. Primarily formal in purpose, this group includes abstract compositions as well as architectural projects such as the Revolving House. Includes reprographic copies of drawings and a draft of Taut's introduction to the Akademie der Künste catalogue, 'Die gläserne Kette' (p. 5-6). These reprographic copies were accessioned as received in an orange folder inscribed with Taut's name and pseudonym.

• 5 drawings
  3 textual records

sheets (range [some irreg.]): 19,1 to 38,1 x 17,6 to 34,6 cm

DR1988:0021:001-006

The folder has been retained and is stored with the works of this group. Prints have old folds and a few tears, and some are irregularly trimmed. The two sheets of tracing paper are stapled together at the u.l. corner, and have a few small folds.
