Josef Albers : a retrospective
—Albers, Josef.
1988

Book

This collection of texts reconsiders Albers in a larger historical art context and uncovers his vibrancy and independence from traditional modes of abstraction. The catalogue accompanied a posthumous exhibition of Albers's work and boasts a wealth of literature as well as over 200 color and black-and-white images from throughout Albers's entire oeuvre. Accompanying these stunning images are essays by Neal Benezra, Mary Emma Harris, Charles E. Rickart, and Nicholas Fox Weber. The catalogue also includes a selected exhibition history, bibliography of works on and by the artist, and a chronology with photographs of Albers at various stages of life.-- Publisher description
