BORN in Cologne in 1899, Grete Marks was one of the first female students to be admitted to the famed Bauhaus school of art and design in Germany.

In this centenary year of the founding of Bauhaus, a new — and free — exhibition at Pallant House Gallery in Chichester celebrates the extraordinary story of this overlooked artist.
