"Sin título", una rara e íntima obra en técnica mixta sobre papel de Anni Albers, fue un regalo personal a su propietaria, Katherine Weber, esposa del presidente de la Fundación Albers, Nicholas Fox Weber, presentado durante una visita en Connecticut. Nunca puesta a la venta, esta obra de arte se distingue de las célebres creaciones textiles de Albers, mostrando su versatilidad como artista abstracta. Creada con una delicada interacción de lápiz, tinta y acuarela, la composición presenta formas geométricas y sutiles degradados de color que danzan por la superficie, reflejando su inventiva en la exploración de la forma y la textura. Esta obra, probablemente de los últimos años de su carrera, pone de manifiesto su cambio hacia el grabado y el dibujo a partir de 1963, superando los tejidos pictóricos de la década de 1950.





Nacida en Berlín y formada en la Bauhaus en la década de 1920, donde más tarde enseñó, Albers fue pionera en diseños textiles vanguardistas que combinaban la funcionalidad con atrevidas abstracciones. Su estancia en el Black Mountain College y sus viajes a México la expusieron al arte precolombino, lo que influyó en su uso de técnicas olvidadas y motivos abstractos, como se aprecia de forma simplificada e intuitiva en nuestra obra. Su escala íntima y su procedencia personal le confieren un encanto único, que contrasta con sus encargos públicos de mayor envergadura. Esta pieza ofrece una ventana al espíritu experimental que marca el legado de Albers dentro del arte y el diseño del siglo XX.
