Anni and Josef Albers showcases how the Bauhaus art movement ignited artistic expression across Europe and set the foundation for the pair’s groundbreaking work across weaving, painting and printmaking. Guided by Josef’s explosive use of colour and Anni’s formal exploration of pattern making and textiles, the exhibition brings together 119 works by the artists and their contemporaries, alongside paintings and archival materials.
Works include Anni’s Meander and Mountainous series and Josef’s Homage to the Square: On an Early Sky, Gray Instrumentation and White line Square series.
