This publication is a superb facsimile of the only known notebook of legendary artist Anni Albers.
Between 1970 and 1980, Anni Albers filled her graph-paper notebook regularly. This rare and previously unpublished document of her working process contains intricate drawings for her graphic work, as well as studies for her late knot drawings. The notebook 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 Albers’ work.
