Book Description
Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the magnificent art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers's abstract works on canvas and paper. 'Mexico is truly the promised land of abstract art', Josef Albers once wrote to Vassily Kandinsky. Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the magnificent art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers's abstract works on canvas and paper. With his wife, the artist Anni Albers, he visited Mexico and other Latin American countries more than a dozen times from 1935 to 1968, where he toured pre-Columbian archeological sites and monuments. On each visit, Albers took blackand- white photographs of the pyramids, shrines, sanctuaries and landscapes in and around these ancient sites, often grouping multiple images printed at various scales onto 8 x 10 inch sheets. The result was nearly 200 photo-collages that illustrate formal characteristics of the pre-Columbian aesthetic. Albers in Mexico brings together rarely exhibited photographs, photo-collages, prints and significant paintings from the Homage to the Square and Variants/Adobe series from the Guggenheim Museum collection and the Anni and Josef Albers Foundation. This catalogue includes two scholarly essays, Albers's poetry from the period and an illustrated map, as well as rich colour reproductions of paintings and works on paper.

Book Description
Small-Great Objects presents a remarkable look into the art-collecting practices of two of modern art's most widely influential figures, Anni (1899-1994) and Josef (1888-1976) Albers. Their impressive collection of over 1,400 objects from Latin America, namely Mexico and Peru, represents a conscious endeavor that goes well beyond that of a casual hobby, displaying a deep appreciation for the art, textiles, and overall ingenuity of the ancient American world. This insightful book draws on primary-source materials such as the couple's letters, personal papers, and archival photographs--many never before published--and demonstrates their conviction that these Prehispanic objects displayed a formal sophistication and bold abstraction that defy the prevalent conception of the works as "primitive." Moreover, it shows how the Alberses spread their appreciation of the ancient world to others, through their teachings, their writings, and their own art practices.

Book Description
The objects illustrated and described in this volume represent the finest craftsmanship and skill of aboriginal America. Few of these artifacts can be regarded as folk art; the bulk of the collection consists of objects manufactured for the aristocrats of their day who deemed them to be of high artistic merit. Furthermore, they represent a wide range in time and space, and they reflect many and varied stylistic traditions. - Introduction.

Book Description
Sie waren nicht nur zwei der herausragenden Künstler des Bauhaus, sondern zugleich auch ein bekanntes Paar. Von ihrem Leben und Schaffen zeugen ihre berühmten Werke sowie die von ihnen als Lehrer und Vorbilder geprägten Künstler. Das ist aber noch nicht alles, wie uns ein zeitgenössisches Künstlerpaar vor Augen führt: Das Fotografinnen- Duo Lake Verea hat in der Josef and Anni Albers Foundation den materiellen und gedanklichen Spuren der künstlerischen Schöpfungskraft im Nachlass nachgespürt. Briefwechsel mit Bauhaus-Kollegen, Farbtuben und Stofffasern werden dabei in außergewöhnlicher Haptik und Lebendigkeit erfasst. Das Sehen der Gegenstände verleiht der Vorstellungskraft Flügel. Denn unweigerlich sieht man durch die Dinge die beiden Künstler am Werk, die aus diesen Gegenständen, Gesprächen und Gedankengängen ihren ganz eigenen Beitrag zur Kunstgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts formten.
