Friedrich Adler: Ways and Byways
First exhibition in Israel of works by Friedrich Adler (Laupheim, 1878–Auschwitz, 1942), a member of the pre-Bauhaus Deutscher Werkbund (German Craft Alliance), which believed in art's ability to effect a change in society and in the religious hegemony. The focus of the exhibition is a rare stained-glass window, also featuring decorative and Judaica works which reflect the innovativeness of early Modern industrial design.
Exhibition and catalogue sponsored by The David Berg Foundation, New York; Federal Republic of Germany, Foreign Office; Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung, Munich; with the assistance of the artist's daughter Rina Alexander Lior and her family, Neot Mordechai; and with thanks to Raya Strauss Ben-Dror
