The exhibition focuses on the early work of the Swiss universal artist Max Bill (1908-1994). It spans a wide range from the artist's works from his Bauhaus period, through watercolors of strong form and color from 1932/33, to works of Concrete Art that herald his era at the HfG Ulm. In addition, Max Bill's design for a mural with a capital "O" from 1932 will be realized for the first time on the walls of the Mies van der Rohe House as part of the exhibition. 

The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog with a text by Angela Thomas and a newly published monograph by Max Bill on Mies van der Rohe, which was first published in Italian by Il Balcone in 1955.

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the Mies van der Rohe Haus on Friday, June 21, 2024. He was invited by the Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus to mark the 25th anniversary of the association. He was impressed: "You have created something great here on Obersee. Not only the memory of a great architect. The way in which you have made this memory possible is also great. By citizens for citizens. The Bauhäusler with their demand for transparency, openness and democratic participation would certainly have liked that. I would therefore like to thank you for this commitment."

The Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus was founded in 1999 and has since supported numerous projects at the house, including exhibitions, research formats, publications and cultural education programs.
