ANNI AND JOSEF ALBERS BOOK

A spectacular and unprecedented visual biography of the main pioneers and protagonists of modern art and design.

Josef — painter, designer, and teacher — and Anni Albers — textile and graphic artist — are among the most important abstract artists of the 20th century, and this is the first monograph to celebrate the rich creative output and fascinating relationship of these two masters in a single, elegant volume. The book presents their lives and work as never before, from their formative years at the Bauhaus in Germany to their remarkable influence at Black Mountain College in the United States, and their intensely productive period in Connecticut.

Written in an accessible format, the book is packed with over 750 works of art, archival images, and documents - many of which are published for the first time - that trace the extraordinary lives and careers of this legendary couple.
