Beschreibung
This book tells the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day, and fully examines the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and the infamous dinner parties. Isokon resident Agatha Christie features in the book as does architect Le Corbusier, who Jack Pritchard commissioned for a pavilion design in 1925. The book is beautifully illustrated with archive photography ¿ much of which is previously unseen ¿ and includes the work of photographer and Soviet spy Edith Tudor-Hart, as well as plans and sketches, menus, postcards and letters from the Pritchard family archive.
