In the world of art, Anni Albers forged her own unique path, always overshadowed by her husband, Josef Albers. Upon first glance, her works exude an enigmatic complexity far beyond that of her husband’s. While Josef’s art centers on squares and rectangles, Anni delves into more intricate and elaborate patterns reminiscent of fabric, expertly woven and knitted with exceptional balance and symmetry. It’s no surprise that Anni Albers stands as one of the most prominent textile artists of the 20th century. Although the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop displays some noteworthy pieces, the majority of her oeuvre can be found in the USA, where she garnered a dedicated following. www.ftn-books.com houses an impressive collection of titles on both Anni and Josef Albers, but for this instance, the focus will be solely on Anni Albers – for she deserves recognition as the true pioneer of her craft.
www.ftn-books.com has several Anni Albers items now available.
