Focusing on his prints and other works on paper, the book reveals not only the unappreciated naturalistic origins of his art, but also his ongoing interest in producing organic, surrealistic forms alongside the geometric abstraction for which he is best known. It presents dozens of prints, paintings, and drawings from the first half of his career, as well as previously unseen photographs of the artist at work and on research trips to the ancient sites of Mexico where he found important sources of inspiration for his art and theories.

Conrad (born 1926), then a student at HfG, documented Albers’ teaching in an extensive series of over 400 photographs, depicting his lectures to and interactions with the students. These images are published here for the first time in their entirety.

The experience of exile infused their modernist ideas with new urgency and forced them to use certain materials in place of others, modify existing works, and reconsider their approach to design itself. In \u003cem\u003eObjects in Exile\u003c\/em\u003e, Robin Schuldenfrei reveals how the process of migration was crucial to the development of modernism, charting how modern art and architecture was shaped by the need to constantly face—and transcend—the materiality of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking readers from the prewar era to the 1960s, Schuldenfrei explores the objects these émigrés brought with them, what they left behind, and the new works they completed in exile. She argues that modernism could only coalesce with the abandonment of national borders in a process of emigration and resettlement, and brings to life the vibrant postwar period when avant-garde ideas came together and emerged as mainstream modernism. Examining works by Walter Gropius, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Herbert Bayer, Anni and Josef Albers, and others, Schuldenfrei demonstrates the social impact of art objects produced in exile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShedding critical light on how the pressures of dislocation irrevocably altered the course of modernism, \u003cem\u003eObjects in Exile\u003c\/em\u003e shows how artists and designers, forced into exile by circumstances beyond their control, changed in unexpected ways to meet the needs and contexts of an uncertain world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e352 pages | \u003cspan\u003e76 color + 82 black-and-white illustrations \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinceton University Press, 2024\u003cbr\u003e7.5 x 10.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9780691232669     \u003cbr\u003eModernism\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48065113358504,"sku":"9780691232669","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Objects-in-Exile_Modern-Art-and-Design-Across-Borders.jpg?v=1715208018"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/collections\/JosefAlbers_Monograph_pic.jpg?v=1455568646","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/collections\/bookstore-artist-monographs-josef-albers.oembed","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
