Happy birthday to master textile artist & printmaker,
#AnniAlbers! Annelise Albers' interest in textiles wasn't immediate: unlike husband
#JosefAlbers, her gender precluded her from joining the glass workshop at the
#Bauhaus that interested her most. After training with
#GuntaStölzl, she ultimately came to love the tactile qualities of weaving and devoted a lifetime of artistic production to exploring its particularities and challenges. Seen here weaving in her studio, photographed in 1937 by Helen M. Post, alongside selections from a group we sold last week in
#London - 'Connections', 1927/1983, sold at 3x estimate in our
#Editions sale.
