Anni Albers : Notebook 1970-1980. - Zwirner, Lucas; Danilowitz, Brenda; Albers, Anni (New York : David Zwirner Books, 2017)
Beginning in 1970, 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 This rare and previously unpublished document of her working process contains intricate drawings for her large body of graphic work, as well as studies for her late knot drawings. The notebook follows Albers's deliberations and progression as a draftsman in their original form. It reveals the way she went about making complex patterns, exploring them piece by piece, line by line, in a visually dramatic and mysteriously beautiful series of geometric arrangements. An afterword by Brenda Danilowitz, Chief Curator of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, contextualizes the notebook and explores the role studies played in the development of her work. Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile artist, designer, printmaker and educator known for her pioneering graphic wall hangings, weavings and designs.
