The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies in Aspen, Colorado, is opening a new exhibition titled "Double Take: Recurrent Dialogues in the Art of Herbert Bayer" on June 12, 2026. The show features over 70 works by Bayer, many rarely seen, on loan from the Denver Art Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the George Eastman Museum. The exhibition pairs and clusters Bayer's works to explore the interdependency of mediums across his career, from 1930s surrealist photomontages to 1970s geometric abstractions.
This exhibition matters because it offers a fresh, connective perspective on Herbert Bayer, a trailblazing multidisciplinary artist and Bauhaus figure whose work spans photography, painting, and design. By revealing thematic and formal continuities across his diverse output, "Double Take" deepens understanding of Bayer's creative process and personal visual language, contributing to ongoing scholarly and public appreciation of Bauhaus and modernist art.
