Anni Albers (1899 - 1994) was one of the most influential textile
designers of the 20th century. Born in Berlin, in 1922 she became a
student at the Bauhaus in Weimar, where she met her husband, Josef
Albers. From 1933 to 1949 Albers taught at Black Mountain College.
The fifteen essays gathered here illustrate Anni Albers's concept
of design as the pursuit of wholeness -- "the coalition of form
answering practical needs and form answering aesthetic needs." This
beautifully illustrated book addresses the artistic and practical
concerns of modern design and considers the ever-changing role of
the designer.
Albers's work is in private collections and in those of leading
museums both here and abroad. Among them are the Busch-Reisinger
Museum at Harvard University, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the
Museum Neue Sammlung in Munich, the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin, and
the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the
Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. Her previous books include On
Weaving (1965) and On Designing (1961), both published by Wesleyan
General
