Otti Berger created fabrics that fundamentally changed the understanding of what textiles could be and do. A core member of the experimental approach to textiles at the Bauhaus, she was also a female entrepreneur in the frenzied time that was the early 1930s in Berlin. Working closely with architects of the New Objectivity movement such as Lilly Reich, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Hans Scharoun, she designed upholstery and wall tapestries, curtains and floor coverings that responded to novel types of use and production methods, and thereby redefined the relationship between aesthetics and function¿with fascinating results. To date Berger's textile work has only been explored in fragments. This book is the first comprehensive study of its complexity and beauty and makes her hitherto unpublished treatise on fabrics and the methodology of textile production accessible. Raum's research offers an entirely new perspective on Berger's oeuvre.
OTTI BERGER (1898-1944) was one of the most important textile
designers of the 20th century. Born in Zmajevac, in the Austro-
Hungarian Empire, present-day Croatia, she studied in Zagreb
and from 1927 at the Bauhaus in Dessau. Leaving her teaching
post at the Bauhaus, she set up her own business in Berlin in
1932 to design fabrics for modern interiors, but was banned from
working due to her Jewish heritage in 1936. Attempts to escape
to England and the USA failed. She was deported from Croatia
to Auschwitz and was murdered there in 1944.
In cooperation with the Bauhaus Archive Berlin, visual artist
and art historian JUDITH RAUM (*1977) has conducted intensive
research in European and North American archives to complete
the first comprehensive study of Berger's scattered estate.
