Goetheanum Glass Windows

Published by Verlag am Goetheanum

The Goetheanum glass windows – designed by Rudolf Steiner in collaboration with the Russian artist Assja Turgenieff – give artistic form to the spiritual and architectural vision of the Second Goetheanum. Through color, shape, and movement, the windows portray the stages of an inner path of development. Their motifs explore profound human themes: the quest for self-knowledge; the struggle to achieve inner equilibrium between forces of hardening and dissolution; the origins of thinking, feeling, and willing and their rightful interplay; encounters with the thresholds of birth and death; and wider perspectives on human and cosmic evolution. Through attentive viewing and contemplation, the windows open an experiential gateway into the spiritual dimensions of human existence.

This exclusive edition presents large, full-color reproductions of the glass windows, alongside fold-out panels that reveal the carved designs in rich detail.
