ANNI ALBERS Connections 1925/1983.
Est: $12,000 - $18,000
ANNI ALBERS Connections 1925/1983. Portfolio with complete text and 9 color screenprints on 150-gram Umbria paper, 1984. 700x497 mm; 27 5/8x19 1/2 inches (sheets), full margins, loose as issued. One of 125 numbered copies. Numbered "61" in pencil, on the justification page. Each color screenprint signed, dated and numbered 61/125 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Samuele Villa, Muggiò. Published by Fausta Squatriti, Milan. With the original printed cardboard portfolio folder. Superb, richly-inked impressions of these scarce screenprints. The portfolio is a survey of Albers' (1899-1994) graphic work from 1925 to 1983. According to the introduction by Squatriti, "Anni Albers has always thought that art is the continuation and the development of the ancient craftmanship on a plane no longer practical but purely intellectual. Her graphic work, therefore, has the value of a profound analysis of the logical structure of perception or, more precisely, of the substantial unity of the sensorial and the psychological moments of vision: in other words, of the active, and not merely receptive, character of vision. This publication of very limited selection of her graphic work is an homage to an authentic artist, who in fifty years of dedicated work has chosen above all to remain faithful to the glorious school in which she was trained and to the aesthetics and ethics of art which she learned. Always modern, she has never sought the new for its own sake. Serenely she has followed the thread of her first research, working with it, making it into context, without ever repeating or boring herself."

Anni Albers Do-C. 1973. Farbserigraphie auf leicht…
Est: €3,200 -
Concrete Art Anni Albers Do-C. 1973. Farbserigraphie auf leicht strukturiertem Velin. 39 x 39 cm (47,2 x 42 cm). Signiert, datiert, betitelt und nummeriert. - Punktuell blasser, kaum merklicher kleiner Fleck, unten rechts winzige Oberflächenbereibung in der Darstellung, vereinzelte leichte Griffspur im Rand, verso oben rechts kaum merkliche Oberflächenbereibung, insgesamt sehr gut. Prachtvoller, farbintensiver und klarer Druck mit schmalem, unten mit breitem Rand. Eines von 20 Exemplaren. - Meisterlich verschränkt Anni Albers in ihrem Schaffen Kunst mit Weberei, revolutioniert das Handwerk mit modernistischen Ideen. Gefeiert als eine der innovativsten und einflussreichsten Textil-Künstlerinnen unserer Zeit, steht sie ihrem Mann Josef Albers und seinem Schaffen in nichts nach. Vielmehr sind beide als künstlerisches Powerduo zu begreifen, das sich der Kunst auf erforschende Weise widmete. Beide lernen und lehren am Bauhaus, der Institution, die Kunst als Gesamtwerk betrachtete. Ausgehend hiervon, wird Anni Albers zur Pionierin eines ganz eigenen, einzigartigen Webstils und erhält 1949 als erste Textil-Künstlerin eine Einzelausstellung im New Yorker Museum of Modern Art. Verstärkt wendet sie sich in ihren letzten Lebensjahren der Graphik zu, verarbeitet die Farbfelder ihrer geometrisch-konkreten Kompositionen zu webartigen Mustern von spielerischer Sensibilität. In den zunächst scharfkantigen abstrakten Darstellungen entfaltet sich ein unendliches Fließen und Bewegen. Colour silk-screen on light structured wove paper. Signed, dated, titled and numbered. - Isolated faint, hardly noticeable stain, tiny surface abrasion on lower right depiction area, isolated very light handling traces in margins, hardly notcieable surface abrasion on the verso, all in all very good. Splendid, colour-intense and clear impression with narrow margin, at the bottom with wide margin. - One of 20 copies. - In her work, Anni Albers masterfully intertwines art with weaving, revolutionising the craft with modernist ideas. Celebrated as one of the most innovative and influential textile artists of our time, she is in no way inferior to her husband Josef Albers and his work. Rather, both are to be understood as an artistic power duo who devoted themselves to art in an exploratory manner. Both studied and taught at the Bauhaus, the institution that regarded art as a complete work. Based on this, Anni Albers became a pioneer of her own unique weaving style and became the first textile artist to receive a solo exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1949. In the last years of her life, she turned increasingly to graphic art, processing the colour fields of her geometric-concrete compositions into web-like patterns of playful sensitivity. In the initially sharp-edged abstract representations an infinite flow and movement unfolds. * Dieses Werk ist regelbesteuert. Auf den Zuschlagspreis fallen 23,95% Aufgeld sowie auf den Rechnungsendbetrag 7% bzw. 19% Mehrwertsteuer in der Europäischen Union an. This work is subject to the regular margin scheme. There is a 23.95% buyer's premium on the hammer price and 7% or 19% VAT on the final invoice amount in the European Union.

ANNI ALBERS Do IV.
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
ANNI ALBERS Do IV. Color screenprint on Fabriano Cottone paper, 1973. 483x483 mm; 19x19 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 47/50 in pencil, lower margin. Published by Edition Domberger, Stuttgart, with the blind stamp lower left. A very good impression of this scarce print. According to Nicholas Fox Weber, in his introduction to the Guggenheim Museum's 1999 retrospective on the artist, Albers became a printmaker late in her career and collaborated with leading printers to blend screenprinting with photo-offset lithography, as well as with other print media to create unprecedented, experimental works. Fox Weber wrote, "No wonder she so often quoted Kandinsky's, 'There is always an 'and'.' That verity certainly applied to her . . . Her faith in art, and the encapsulation of its possibilities was nothing short of marvelous." Weber/Danilowitz 35.
