The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies is the newest addition to Aspen’s vibrant cultural scene. Join the Aspen Institute for exhibitions, education and engagement.
The Bayer Center preserves the art and legacy of Herbert Bayer (1900–1985), an influential modern artist and designer who studied and taught at the Bauhaus before emigrating from Germany to the United States in 1938. After relocating to Colorado in 1946, Bayer helped lead the postwar revitalization of the city of Aspen, shaped the early artistic and programmatic vision of the Aspen Institute, and designed the historic Aspen Meadows campus between 1949 and 1975.
Operating as a not-for-profit exhibition space and platform for research, the Bayer Center honors Bayer’s interdisciplinary perspective by exploring art, design, and media through exhibitions, public programming, community engagement, educational initiatives, and the support of scholarship in the arts and humanities.
The Resnick Center for Herbert Bayer Studies is free and open to the public.
