From August 9 to September 29, 2013, the UIMA held an exhibit titled “Chicago’s Bauhaus Legacy,” showcasing works created between 1937 and 1955 by students of the New Bauhaus and its successor schools, the School of Design in Chicago and the Institute of Design. In 1933, due to cultural repression under Nazi Germany, the famed Bauhaus School was forced to close. In 1937, the Association of Arts and Industries invited László Moholy-Nagy, a Hungarian artist and former Bauhaus Master, to establish a design school in Chicago renamed the “New Bauhaus” by Moholy-Nagy.
