A Berlin Architect on the Road

Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953) in America

Erich Mendelsohn, Russland, Europa, Amerika, Buchcover

The Kunstbibliothek holds the estate of architect Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953). In 1926, the 250th anniversary year of the United States, he published his impressions of a trip to the United States in "America: An Architect’s Picture Book" – the same year that a commission took him to the USSR. In 1929, he brought these observations together in the politically charged volume "Russia, Europe, America: An Architectural Cross-Section."
Mendelsohn expert Regina Stephan analyzes both books. In conversation with Maren Wienigk, curator of the Kunstbibliothek, his international work is further explored.
