Further Details
In 1927, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe completed two adjacent private residences—Haus Lange and Haus Esters—in Krefeld, Germany. These structures are widely regarded as significant exemplars of Bauhaus design principles, a movement with which van der Rohe was closely associated as an educator. In a later reinterpretation, the artist Eric Fischl was commissioned to transform one of the buildings, now functioning as a museum, into a staged theatrical environment. Fischl curated furnishings and artworks and engaged two professional actors to perform a series of intimate, scripted scenarios. Over the course of four days, he produced approximately 2,000 photographs, from which he subsequently selected a number of images to develop into paintings.
