Das internationale Design Magazin »eye« äussert sich begeistert zur Ausstellung »ON—TYPE. Texte zur Typografie« im Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin.
Ein Auszug:
»For any visitors with only a hazy idea of the history of type, this is a must-see, the only caveat being that competence in the German language is a prerequisite to appreciate fully the content. The exhibition begins with Behrens’ first forays into the Modern, through the reforming morality of Werkbund, the social idealism of the neue Typographie, the National Socialists’ racist legislation on type, through to Swiss- and Dutch-led aspirations for ‘neutrality’ in the postwar era, and finally into the postmodern, trailing off into ‘dematerialisation’ and ‘virtualisation’.«
