A long-overdue reassessment of one of the most important and
influential woman artists working at midcentury Anni Albers
(1899-1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker,
and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although
she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers,
her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively
overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef.
In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers's
most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her
contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her
significance as an artist in her own right. Featured works--from
her early activity at the Bauhaus as well as from her time at Black
Mountain College, and spanning her entire fruitful career--include
wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies,
jewelry, and prints. Essays by international experts focus on key
works and themes, relate aspects of Albers's practice to her
seminal texts On Designing and On Weaving, and identify broader
contextual material, including examples of the Andean textiles that
Albers collected and in which she found inspiration for her
understanding of woven thread as a form of language. Illuminating
Albers's skill as a weaver, her material awareness, and her deep
understanding of art and design, this publication celebrates an
artist of enormous importance and showcases the timeless nature of
her creativity.
