Abstract

Mackintosh was for long neglected in Britain, in spite of the efforts of some architectural writers to draw attention to his achievement. Thomas Haworth and the Glasgow School of Art did much to document and preserve his work; following the appearance of Howarth’s monograph in 1952, and an exhibition in 1953, interest in Mackintosh began to revive. Further exhibitions and publications, and reproductions of his furniture, contributed to the continuing growth of Mackintosh’s reputation, but many of the architect’s buildings remained under threat and a Society was formed to campaign for their preservation and to foster interest in his work. Recent years have seen additional publications, with more in prospect, and including the Mackintosh Society’s regular Newsletter, together with some television productions.
