Josef Albers (1888 - 1976)
Josef Albers was a German artist and educator whose work, both in Europe and in the United States, formed the basis of some of the most influential and far-reaching art education programs of the 20th century. Born in Bottrop, Westphalia, on March 19, 1888, Albers studied art in Berlin, Essen, and Munich before enrolling as a student at the prestigious Weimar Bauhaus in 1920. He began teaching in the preliminary course of the Department of Design in 1922, and was promoted to Professor in 1925, the year the Bauhaus moved to Dessau.
Comments about Albers

subjectFormulation Articulation
message“Formulation: Articulation” portfolio contains 127 silkscreens of his most iconic works, published by Harry N. Abrams and printed by Albers’s Yale colleagues Norman Ives and Sewell Stillman in 1972. Released just four years before Albers’s death, “Formulation: Articulation” is often regarded as a capstone to the artist’s long career, spanning his early works at the Bauhaus in the 1930s until his tenure at Yale. Notably, Albers chose to arrange the prints out of chronological order, favoring a lineup that focused on color relationships. The portfolio, released in an edition of 1,000, is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, SFMOMA, the British Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum, among other institutions. While the prints in “Formulation: Articulation” are often sold individually, rare examples of the full portfolio occasionally come to the market
