Bauhaus Goes West chronicles a two-way cultural exchange, with Bauhaus emigres influencing and being influenced by the countries they moved to, particularly Britain. It delves into the UK experiences of key figures Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Lszl Moholy-Nagy during the 1930s, presenting their stories in parallel for the first time. The book also explores the lives of lesser-known Bauhusler who remained in Britain and concludes by tracing the main protagonists' continuation of Bauhaus ideals in America.
