Anni Albers: Notebook 1970-1980

Anni Albers (1899-1994) is a textile artist, designer, printmaker, and educator known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings, weavings, and designs. She was born in Berlin, and studied painting under German Impressionist Martin Brandenburg from 1916 to 1919.
A superb facsimile of the only known notebook of the artist’s work, preserving minute gradations of shading, along with blotting marks, aged tape and smudges all rendered in perfect detail, this publication offers insight into the methodology of a modern master. Beginning in 1972, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly until 1980. This rare and previously unpublished document of her working process contains intricate drawings for her large body of graphic work, as well as studies for her late knot drawings.
