grid of interlocking "v" shapes in blue against a red background. Anni Albers trained at the Bauhaus as a textile artist. She became famous for her hand weavings which were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. She married Josef Albers and in 1950 moved to New Haven where Josef taught at Yale. While in New Haven, Albers experimented with printmaking. In 1970 she gave away her textile looms and dedicated her work to producing optically charged works. This piece is not a symmetrical composition but a carefully placed geometrical composition. It is a prime example of the exploration of optical play.
