Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFeatured works—from her early activity at the Bauhaus to her time at Black Mountain College—include wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewelry, and prints.
