Exhibition description:
This exhibition was the most complete retrospective of Anni Albers to date, and the first to be presented to a European audience. It was organized as a centennial celebration of Albers’s birth, and displayed an ensemble of weavings that bear great importance for both the histories of modern art and design. Albers’s weavings reveal a unique interest in geometry, semantics and visual sign. The current display reveals her systematic and orderly approach to textile weaving, which denotes an interdependent relationship between construction and pattern.
