A much-needed publication celebrating the endless creativity of
Anni Albers, one of the most influential artists of the twentieth
century. Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver,
writer and printmaker, who was among the leading pioneers of
twentieth-century modernism. Throughout her fruitful career she
inspired a reconsideration of fabrics, both in their functional
roles and as wall hangings, truly establishing thread and weaving
as a valid medium for art. In her later years, Albers took up
print-making, translating many of her persistent themes and ideas
into two-dimensional form. But while Albers has been extremely
influential for younger generations of artists and designers, her
contribution to modernist art history has, until now, been rather
overlooked. This publication presents Albers's most important works
in a new light, to fully explore and redefine her contribution to
twentieth-century art and design, and highlight her significance as
an artist in her own right, rather than alongside her husband
Josef. Illuminating Albers's technical skill, her material
awareness and acute understanding of art and design, this
much-needed publication is a celebration of one of the most
influential artists of the twentieth century, and her endless
creativity.
