The Prints of Josef Albers
A catalogue raisonne of the work of Josef Albers, covering the years 1915 to 1976.
Anni and Josef Albers
Sie waren nicht nur zwei der herausragenden Künstler des Bauhaus, sondern zugleich auch ein bekanntes Paar. Von ihrem Leben und Schaffen zeugen ihre berühmten Werke sowie die von ihnen als Lehrer und Vorbilder geprägten Künstler. Das ist aber noch nicht alles, wie uns ein zeitgenössisches Künstlerpaar vor Augen führt: Das Fotografinnen- Duo Lake Verea hat in der Josef and Anni Albers Foundation den materiellen und gedanklichen Spuren der künstlerischen Schöpfungskraft im Nachlass nachgespürt. Briefwechsel mit Bauhaus-Kollegen, Farbtuben und Stofffasern werden dabei in außergewöhnlicher Haptik und Lebendigkeit erfasst. Das Sehen der Gegenstände verleiht der Vorstellungskraft Flügel. Denn unweigerlich sieht man durch die Dinge die beiden Künstler am Werk, die aus diesen Gegenständen, Gesprächen und Gedankengängen ihren ganz eigenen Beitrag zur Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts formten.
Anni Albers: Notebook 1970-1980
A superb facsimile of the only known notebook of legendary artist Anni Albers, this publication offers insight into the methodology of a modern master. Beginning in 1970, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly until 1980. This rare and previously unpublished document of her working process contains intricate drawings for her large body of graphic work, as well as studies for her late knot drawings. The notebook follows Albers's deliberations and progression as a draftsman in their original form. It reveals the way she went about making complex patterns, exploring them piece by piece, line by line in a visually dramatic and mysteriously beautiful series of geometric arrangements. An afterword by Brenda Danilowitz, Chief Curator of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, contextualizes the notebook and explores the role studies played in the development of her work.

Anni Albers: Camino Real
The first in-depth study of a monumental wall hanging—rediscovered after many years—by renowned Bauhaus artist Anni Albers. Albers was influential in elevating textiles from craft to fine art. Her exquisite wall hanging Camino Real—seen in public for the first time since 1989 at David Zwirner, New York, in 2019, and the subject of this book—is a superb example of this modern master’s work. In 1967, noted architects Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragán commissioned Albers to create a work for the newly built Hotel Camino Real in Mexico City. Completed in 1968, her striking wall hanging Camino Real is heavily influenced by Latin American art and culture. Showcasing Albers’s approac...

Josef Albers: To Open Eyes
A fascinating study of the revolutionary painter and teacher, Josef Albers.
Josef Albers
Josef Albers was a world-renowned Modernist painter, designer, teacher, and theoretician. Born in 1888 in Germany, Albers enrolled as a student at the Bauhaus in 1920 and went on to teach metal-work furniture, typography, and design courses there until the school was forced to close in 1933. He then came to the United States to teach at the newly founded Black Mountain College in North Carolina and at Yale University. This volume focuses on one aspect of Josef Albers's career: his work in black, white, and gray. By concentrating on this select group of drawings, prints, photographs, engraved vinylites, and paintings, one can survey his work from the early drawings (1910s) to the late prints (1970s). What becomes clear is that, with the key exception of his conversion to abstraction at the Bauhaus in the very early 1920s, Albers remained largely immune to changing currents in the art world. Throughout his life, he allowed only one of the pervasive social forces defining the 20th century to have a direct impact on his art -- a very modern embrace of industrialization.
