Exhibition at Villa Hügel, Essen, 16 June - 7 October 2018

This catalogue, accompanying the first major exhibition on Josef Albers (1888-1976) in more than thirty years, features all aspects of the artist's career.

Beginning with Albers's time at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, the publication follows the artist to America and describes major themes of his work there as well as the importance of his frequent travels to Mexico. Paintings, prints, furniture, household objects, works in glass, photographs, and pre-Columbian sculptures are reproduced and discussed by a team of experts.

The juxtaposition of Renaissance sculptures and icons with paintings by Albers underlines the intellectual and spiritual dimensions of his art, and Albers's influence on 1960s Minimalist art is also explored.
