Anni Albers
Concurrent with a significant new exhibition at the gallery in New York, this online presentation offers a view of Anni Albers’s boundless world, through the artist’s unique designs, textile patterns, and works on paper.
In the words of Nicholas Fox Weber, Executive Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, “Albers’s guiding principle was: aesthetics are not confined to a single area of life. At the same time as she put miracles of playfulness and intelligence on the walls, she did so in fabrics to hang as room dividers, in upholstery materials, in draperies, and in rugs that brought diversion and vitality to the floor. What she cherished in one arena she prized everywhere.”
This collection brings together works on paper from the Bauhaus pioneer, along with a range of new textiles and designs in limited edition color-ways produced in collaboration with British textile maker Christopher Farr, a longtime partner of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.
