Xanti Schawinsky: The Album is published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies in collaboration with the artists estate.Though perhaps best known for his Bauhaus work, Xanti (Alexander) Schawinsky (190479) had a long and varied career after he fled Germany before the beginning of the Second World War.

It was there that Schawinsky developed his theory of the "Spectodrama," producing proto-"happenings" exploring phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound and color from scientific and performance-based perspectives. Yet protracted legal disputes over the artists estate meant that Schawinskys pioneering work was until recently almost inaccessible.
