Karl-Josef Albers Livres

Focusing on color experimentation, this handbook serves as a vital resource for artists, instructors, and students alike. It showcases Albers' innovative concepts in a manner that is accessible to both specialists and a broader audience, making it an essential tool for enhancing understanding and application of color in art.

Rarely seen together, the artwork of Josef Albers and Giorgio Morandi shares many similarities despite the artists never having met. Both worked in series, exploring difference and potential through their unique approaches to color, shape, form, and morphology, influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists, they tackle similar concepts from different perspectives: Albers examines the effects of subtle or bold changes in color, while Morandi creates still lifes featuring simple objects as characters in a spatial narrative. Published in conjunction with the acclaimed exhibition 'Albers and Morandi: Never Finished', this book highlights the visual dialogue between the two artists. Hailed by The New Yorker’s Peter Schjeldahl as one of the best exhibitions he’s ever seen, the publication brings this thought-provoking pairing to your home. It features stunning reproductions alongside a roundtable discussion about form and color with curator David Leiber, Heinz Liesbrock, director of the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop, and Nicholas Fox Weber, director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Additionally, an essay by Laura Mattioli, a Morandi expert and founder of the Center for Italian Modern Art, enriches the exploration of these two influential artists.
