Architectural context
About Erich Mendelsohn
Erich Mendelsohn (1887–1953) was a German Expressionist architect whose early visionary sketches of dynamic, streamlined buildings anticipated an architecture of speed and movement. The catalogue holds 2 of his works in Potsdam and London.
The Einstein Tower (1924) in Potsdam is a solar observatory whose flowing, organic form — rendered in concrete that was originally intended to appear seamless — is the most iconic building of German Expressionism. Cohen House (1936) in London, designed with Serge Chermayeff after Mendelsohn fled Nazi Germany, is a crisp International Style villa that shows a different side of his work — the Expressionist impulse refined into disciplined Modernism.
