## Caption

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.
