"Established as a school for craftsmen in the year of Goethe's death, Hochschule für Gestaltung soon became a school of art and, in 1970, was transformed into the college of art and sciences of the federal state of Hessen. With this publication, the HfG is not merely casting a look back on its history but is more interested in presenting its present-day profile and sketching the objectives it wants to achieve in the future. Numerous articles by current and former teachers, outstanding graduates and other well-known authors provide a rich and detailed portrayal of this institution as part of the international landscape of colleges of art."--avedition
