Meissen X Wassily Kandinsky Edition Plate

"Six of a total of nine known watercolor designs by Bauhaus master Wassily Kandinsky for cups and plates have been in the graphic collection of the Moritzburg Art Museum in Halle (Saale) since the 1920s. The artist's designs were created during his time in Russia as part of his connections with the MEISSEN^® State Porcelain Manufactory in St. Petersburg. They represent something special in the oeuvre of the artist Wassily Kandinsky: No other works by him in the field of applied art are known. In 1922, Wassily Kandinsky took the designs for his works, which are now often used as wall decorations, with him to Germany. Immediately after his move, he presented a cup painted according to his design at the first Russian Art Exhibition in Berlin in the fall of 1922.

This leads to the assumption that the artist Wassily Kandinsky intended to realize his designs for various wall plates and wall decorations in Germany with the MEISSEN^® porcelain manufactory. Based on this cup, the Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt, Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale) and the MEISSEN^® porcelain manufactory have agreed to realize the six designs by Bauhaus master Wassily Kandinsky preserved in the museum's collection for the first time in a high-quality edition consisting of cups, wall plates and wall decorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. As part of this edition, the wall plate "Abstract form elements" was published in 2019. The artist expresses his virtuoso skills in a high-contrast depiction. This wall decoration is a fantastic collector's item. The artist's extraordinary design gives the wall plate a unique look. This wall plate is a unique piece of wall decoration.
