The occasion for the show was an extensive donation by Singer\u2019s sister Frieda Stoerk.<br><br>Friedl Dicker and Franz Singer grew up in Vienna and attended Johannes Itten\u2019s private art school, where they met around 1917. In 1919 they followed their teacher to the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar and completed their studies there four years later. They then founded the Werkst\u00e4tten Bildender Kunst (Fine Arts Workshops) in Berlin-Friedenau, where they produced stage sets, theatre costumes, textiles, book covers and jewellery. In 1925 they returned to Vienna to develop their highly successful joint studio. There they created furniture designs, interior designs and buildings. The rise of Nazism, which made the two Jewish artists\u2019 professional situation increasingly difficult, ultimately led them to move the centre of their lives abroad in 1933\/34. Dicker, who increasingly devoted herself to art education from 1931, went to Prague. She was deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942 and murdered at Auschwitz in 1944. Singer moved to London, where he continued to work as an architect. He died in 1954 during a visit to Berlin.<br><br>In 2019 art historian Katharina H\u00f6velmann began researching and cataloguing the collection donated by Frieda Stoerk and preserved at the Bauhaus-Archiv \/ Museum f\u00fcr Gestaltung: around 3,700 photographs and around 3,500 architectural plans and drawings by Dicker and Singer. The photographs, in particular, provide a detailed documentation of the interior design projects realised by the two architects, mainly in Vienna. In addition, the collection includes the studies Dicker and Singer created in the preliminary course at the Bauhaus as well as coloured perspective drawings and so-called axonometric drawings, which H\u00f6velmann\u2019s work made it possible to link with the relevant projects and clients for the first time. The cataloguing project provided new insights into the working methods and design processes the joint studio had developed at the Bauhaus. These led to the exhibition \u201cStudio Bauhaus, Vienna\u201d at the Wien Museum in 2022, curated by Katharina H\u00f6velmann, Andreas Nierhaus and Georg Schromm. The exhibition was accompanied by a publication of the same name, which includes essays and the first catalogue raisonn\u00e9 of the Dicker-Singer joint studio\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":2998,"parent":11522,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ho_image_focal_point":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11536","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"seo_titel":"","keywords":"","noindex":false,"redirect":"","short_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11536\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
