ABSTRACT
The Weimar period of the Bauhaus was notorious for the money pinch that affected both individual workshops and, above all, the majority of Bauhaus students. 2 Thus it is hardly surprising that the economic circumstances of the August 1923 Bauhaus exhibition were strained. This was exacerbated by the fact that hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic had just reached its climax, making it all the more astonishing that the exhibition came about at all.
