Anni Albers
Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers's most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right. Featured works--from her early activity at the Bauhaus as well as from her time at Black Mountain College, and spanning her entire fruitful career--include wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewelry, and prints. Essays by international experts focus on key works and themes, relate aspects of Albers's practice to her seminal texts On Designing and On Weaving, and identify broader contextual material, including examples of the Andean textiles that Albers collected and in which she found inspiration for her understanding of woven thread as a form of language. Illuminating Albers's skill as a weaver, her material awareness, and her deep understanding of art and design, this publication celebrates an artist of enormous importance and showcases the timeless nature of her creativity.

Anni Albers: From Bauhaus to Black Mountain
The topic of this thesis is the relationship between the artistic career of Anni Albers and her time spent at Black Mountain College. To give an accurate display of the impact that the school had on both her personal and professional life, the first chapter of this paper is dedicated to Albers’ biography prior to Black Mountain College. It discusses her upbringing and the years she spent at the Bauhaus, where her weaving career began. The weavings produced during this period will also be analyzed to provide the reader with an understanding of how Anni Albers’ time at Black Mountain College impacted her artistic repertoire. The second chapter of this thesis begins with the artist’s immigration to America and provides the reader with background information on the formation of Black Mountain College. Throughout this chapter, the evolution of Anni Albers’ role at the school, from a non-essential position to a department director, is discussed. The impact she had on the overall success of the institution is also examined as well as the opinions of her that have been expressed in interviews of Black Mountain College alumni. The art Albers produced in this period is also examined and compared to pieces that were created during her years at the Bauhaus to display the artistic evolution that occurred in her career while at Black Mountain College. The concluding portion of this chapter will discuss Albers’ life after leaving Black Mountain College and her legacy, specifically her solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and the re-visitation of her work by the Tate Modern Museum. The overall goal of this paper is to display the impact of Black Mountain College on Anni Albers’ life through the examination of her personal biography and artistic retrospective. This paper will bring to light the hardships and lack of recognition faced by Anni Albers throughout her lifetime but how her time spent at Black Mountain College allowed her an outlet for expression that proved to combat both. In conclusion, this thesis will provide a biographical documentation of Anni Albers with a focus on the impact of her time at Black Mountain College.
Dissertation
Superposición: literal y fenomenal. La influencia del Anni Albers en el gran almacén de BijenKorf de Marcel Breuer
El artículo considera el gran almacén De Bijenkorf como un hito en la carrera de Marcel Breuer. El edificio representa un cambio desde la superposición literal a la fenomenal en lo que respecta al tratamiento de las fachadas. Esta evolución solo puede ser entendida a través de la influencia de Anni Albers en su obra. La estrategia de estratificación superficial como resultado de la cualidad de la superposición fenomenal permite al edificio adquirir su presencia característica. Un fenómeno ocurre cuando las diferentes capas se combinan en una imagen que alude a un tejido y confiere al edificio su materialidad. Entonces, solidez y transparencia se mezclan: Sol y Sombra.
