Designed just two years after Anni Albers gave up weaving and devoted herself to printmaking, Fox I reflects Albers’s long history with textile design in its bold, geometric pattern. Anni Albers is undoubtedly one of the leading textile designers of the twentieth century. As a student at the Bauhaus in Germany during the 1920s, she absorbed the school’s modern functionalist ideals and met her future husband, Josef, whose work hangs nearby. Coming to the United States in 1933, and to Connecticut in 1950, when Josef became a professor at Yale, the couple spent the remainder of their long, active careers in the state.
