{"product_id":"anni-albers","title":"Anni Albers","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe first in-depth study of a monumental wall hanging—rediscovered after many years—by renowned Bauhaus artist Anni Albers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbers was influential in elevating textiles from craft to fine art. Her exquisite wall hanging \u003ci\u003eCamino Real\u003c\/i\u003e—seen in public for the first time since 1989 at David Zwirner, New York, in 2019, and the subject of this book—is a superb example of this modern master’s work.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In 1967, noted architects Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragán commissioned Albers to create a work for the newly built Hotel Camino Real in Mexico City. Completed in 1968, her striking wall hanging \u003ci\u003eCamino Real\u003c\/i\u003e is heavily influenced by Latin American art and culture. Showcasing Albers’s approach to working with textiles as a “many-sided practice,” it is accompanied in this book by works Albers made following her move to the United States in 1933, including innovative wall hangings, weavings, and a range of works on paper. Together, these works reflect Albers’s brilliant embrace of different materials and techniques and her ability to work at varied scales. The works in this publication offer additional context and motifs, demonstrating the artist’s pioneering investment in textiles as an art form and her parallel interest in mass-produced designs.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Published on the occasion of the Anni Albers exhibition presented at David Zwirner, New York, in 2019, this catalogue features new scholarship from the show’s curator, Brenda Danilowitz, art historian and chief curator of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, and T’ai Smith, an expert on Bauhaus craft and weaving. ","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57383969128830,"sku":"NW9781644230428","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781644230428.jpg?v=1778636285","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/anni-albers","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
