The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies (the Bayer Center), located on the campus of the Aspen Institute in Colorado, opened on June 26, 2022. This 7,000-square-foot space is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the artist and designer Herbert Bayer (1900–1985). The Bayer Center promotes a fuller understanding of Bayer—one of the leading figures to translate the Bauhaus movement into an American context—and his contributions to art, design, and architecture. It anchors the Aspen Institute’s campus-wide visual arts program, which includes over 9,000 square feet of gallery space and multiple site specific outdoor art installations. The vision is intended to honor Bayer’s interdisciplinary perspective by promoting an understanding of art and design through exhibitions, public programming, and educational initiatives.
please note, the bayer center will be closed from April 27 through june 9 to prepare for the next exhibition "Sculpting the Environment: The Three-Dimensional Art of Herbert Bayer," opening to the public june 10.
