Sammlung Katharine und Nicholas Fox Weber, Geschenk des Künstlers
Ausstellung
New Britain, CT, New Britain Museum of American Art, In Thread and On Paper: Anni Albers in Connecticut, 19. März-September 13, 2020
"Ohne Titel", ein seltenes und intimes Werk von Anni Albers in Mischtechnik auf Papier, war ein persönliches Geschenk an seine Besitzerin Katherine Weber, die Ehefrau des Präsidenten der Albers Foundation, Nicholas Fox Weber, und wurde bei einem Besuch in Connecticut überreicht. Dieses Kunstwerk, das nie zum Verkauf angeboten wurde, hebt sich von Albers' berühmten Textilkreationen ab und zeigt ihre Vielseitigkeit als abstrakte Künstlerin. Die mit einem delikaten Zusammenspiel von Bleistift, Tusche und Aquarellfarbe geschaffene Komposition zeigt geometrische Formen und subtile Farbverläufe, die über die Oberfläche tanzen und ihre erfinderische Erforschung von Form und Textur widerspiegeln. Dieses Werk, das wahrscheinlich aus ihrer späteren Karriere stammt, verdeutlicht ihre Hinwendung zur Druckgrafik und zur Zeichnung nach 1963, womit sie die malerischen Webarbeiten der 1950er Jahre hinter sich ließ.





Die in Berlin geborene und in den 1920er Jahren am Bauhaus ausgebildete Künstlerin, die dort später auch unterrichtete, leistete Pionierarbeit bei der Entwicklung avantgardistischer Textildesigns, in denen sie Funktionalität mit kühnen Abstraktionen verband. Ihre Zeit am Black Mountain College und ihre Reisen nach Mexiko brachten sie mit der präkolumbianischen Kunst in Berührung und beeinflussten ihre Verwendung vergessener Techniken und abstrakter Motive, wie sie in vereinfachter und intuitiver Form in unserem Werk zu sehen sind. Sein intimer Maßstab und seine persönliche Herkunft verleihen ihm einen einzigartigen Charme, der im Kontrast zu ihren größeren öffentlichen Aufträgen steht. Dieses Werk bietet einen Einblick in den experimentellen Geist, der Albers' Erbe in der Kunst und im Design des 20. Jahrhunderts kennzeichnet.
