Wood, painted salmon pink, partially turned; clear glass, ground, screwed brass fittings. Underside marked: HWP 82., Margit Téry-Adler (Margit Buschmann) (Gyulafehérvár, Hungary, today Alba Julia, Romania, 1892 - 1977 Berlin) studied at Johannes Itten's private art school in Vienna from 1916/17, where she met Friedl Dicker and Franz Singer, among others. She and her friends followed the charismatic Itten to the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar, where they attended the preliminary course from 1919-21. Téry-Adler's best-known work is the cover design for the magazine "Utopia", which she designed together with her husband Bruno Adler in 1922 and which only appeared in a single edition. As a Jew close to the resistance, she and her second husband, Hugo Buschmann, only narrowly escaped impending death in a concentration camp. After the Second World War she was employed in the advertising department of an industrial company based in Berlin. It was not until 1962 that she devoted herself exclusively to art again.
