Eggelhöfer, Fabienne: Anni Albers

A beautifully illustrated look at the works of Anni Albers with a focus on the architectural dimensions of her work   Anni Albers (1899–1994) has long been revered as a trailblazing weaver, textile er, and visual artist; she also was an insightful and eloquent writer, and her books On ing and On Weaving are canonical writings in history. Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles explores the ideas of materiality, construction, and architecture across her body of work, establishing her legacy as a thinker, theoretician, and innovator.   The book’s essays include essential writings by Albers herself on the making and meaning of textiles, as well as new pieces by Glenn Adamson on her relationship to architecture, Karis Medina on the material and technique of her weavings, Amy Jean Porter on her writing, and Jeffrey Saletnik on East Asian influences in Albers’s work and thinking. Among the book’s hundreds of beautifully reproduced images are works held in private collections that have never before been published. An essential volume in the literature about modernism, this book reinforces Albers’s position as a leading figure in twentieth-century art.   Exhibition Schedule:   Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, Switzerland November 7, 2025–February 22, 2026 Unteres Belvedere, Vienna, Germany April 30–August 16, 2026
