Materials: wood leather dimensions: d 51 cm x w 57 cm h 73 cm el lissitzky designed the portable plywood model d61 for the hygiene exhibition in dresden. The exhibition was a specialty and went back to the director of the then hygiene museum. The aim was to record the contemporary problems of hygiene and to promote a health-oriented lifestyle. Universal artist el lissitzky (1890-1941) is one of the key protagonists of constructivism. The architect, photographer, designer, graphic artist and painter first studied architecture at darmstadt technical university (1909-1914) and in moscow (1914-1918), and then followed marc chagall’s invitation to teach at witebsk art school, where he met kazimir malevich. Lissitzky liked to call himself a “constructor”. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
