Abstract:
Papers and artwork from VKhUTEMAS (Higher Artistic-Technical Workshops), a state-sponsored school of design established in
Moscow. The materials span virtually the entire existence of VKhUTEMAS, from its founding in 1920 until 1929, a year before
it closed. The name of the school was changed to VKhuTEIN (Higher State Artistic and Technical Institute) in 1927. Papers
comprise student records, evaluations, and photographs, as well as brochures, administrative records, and school newspapers
that document VKhUTEMAS's innovative curricula. The bulk of the collection contains drawings, paintings, photographs, experimental
books and other work created by students and professors.
