At the Bauhaus the two artists' work condensed art to its visual fundamentals: line, colour, texture, light and form. Albers and Moholy Nagy reveals the extraordinary richness of both their oeuvres, illustrating many seldom-seen works in a variety of media, including glass, sculpture, painting, film, photo-collage, camera-less and early colour photography, and graphic and furniture design.

Esta exposición invita a la reflexión y visualmente impresionante es una oportunidad muy atrasados a redescubrir dos pioneros del modernismo: de origen alemán Josef Albers (1888-1976) y de origen húngaro László Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946). Aunque su carrera se superpone en apenas cinco años, cuando ambos enseñados en la Bauhaus, sus visiones creativas comparten una serie de preocupaciones. Estos incluyen un énfasis en la experimentación, la subversión de los límites tradicionales entre el arte elevado y aplicada y una creencia utópica en el arte como una fuerza para el cambio social positivo.
