Their many famous works and the artists they influenced as teachers and role models bear witness to their life and work. But that is not all, as another ingenious couple literally shows us. The photographer duo Lake Verea has joined forces with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation to trace the material and intellectual traces of their artistic creativity in their estate. Correspondence with Bauhaus colleagues, tubes of paint and fabric fibers are captured with an extraordinary feel and vividness. Seeing the objects gives wings to the imagination. For inevitably, one sees the hands of the artists at work, who formed their very own contribution to 20th century art history from these objects, conversations and trains of thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eANNI ALBERS (1899–1994) and JOSEF ALBERS (1888–1976) were both Bauhaus artists in Dessau and Berlin. Together they emigrated to the USA in 1933, where their path led them to Black Mountain College and finally to Bethany. With their textile art and his painting and theory, both left behind an oeuvre that was both independent and influential for later generations. FRANCISCA RIVERO-LAKE CORTINA (*1973) and CARLA VEREA HERNÁNDEZ (*1978) always appear together as photographers. This, together with their extraordinary eye, makes them one of the most extraordinary and versatile phenomena in contemporary photography. Their works are accordingly represented in the most renowned exhibitions and collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811864682760,"sku":"9783775748889","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775748889_10348c56-df7b-4190-9094-961f619c8b7b.jpg?v=1744042118"},{"product_id":"82162-anni-albers-constructing-textiles","title":"Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles","description":"Anni Albers is a significant artist and designer of the 20th century. Her designs today serve as an example for a new generation of artists and designers working with textile materials. Albers herself viewed her work as an adventure and, in her writings, advocated for the \"power of creation.\" Her experimental work explored new materials and textures. This catalog illuminates her work not only in textile art but also as a writer and pioneering thinker. Albers' textile works, such as room dividers and curtains, bear witness to a spatial thinking that is explored here for the first time. Her focus on the principles of limitation and longevity, as well as a careful use of material, are particularly relevant today. Contributions from contemporary architects, designers, and theorists shed light on this important aspect of spatial thinking in her work. Three central texts by Albers from the 1940s to the 1960s, including the titular \"Constructing Textiles,\" are made accessible in German for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can listen to a book review by Deutschlandfunk Kultur on Studio 9 with Thorsten Jantschek \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de\/buchkritik-anni-albers-constructing-textiles-100.html\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANNI ALBERS (1899, Berlin–1994, Orange, CT) was a German-American textile artist, weaver, and graphic designer.
