Anni Albers holding pre-Columbian miniature, 1935-1967.
“Anni Albers and her husband and fellow artist, Josef Albers, met at the legendary Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany and became influential teachers there before emigrating to the United States, where they nurtured students at Black Mountain College and Yale University. Their ideas about modern art, however, were profoundly shaped by a different country. Between 1935 and 1967, they made no less than thirteen trips to Mexico and encountered art and artifacts that changed the way they thought about material, color, and abstraction.”
From “Pre-Columbian Mexican Miniatures: The Josef and Anni Albers Collection”, 1970.
