Never offered for sale, this artwork stands apart from Albers’ renowned textile creations, showcasing her versatility as an abstract artist. Created with a delicate interplay of pencil, ink, and watercolor, the composition features geometric shapes and subtle color gradients that dance across the surface, reflecting her inventive exploration of form and texture.

キャサリン&ニコラス・フォックス・ウェーバー・コレクション、アーティスト寄贈
展示会
コネチカット州ニューブリテン、ニューブリテンアメリカンアート美術館、In Thread and On Paper:アニ・アルバース・イン・コネチカット、2020年3月19日~9月13日
アニ・アルバースの貴重で親密なミクストメディアの紙作品 "Untitled "は、アルバース財団会長ニコラス・フォックス・ウェーバーの妻であるキャサリン・ウェーバーが、コネチカット州を訪問した際に個人的に贈ったものである。一度も販売されたことのないこの作品は、アルバースの有名なテキスタイル作品とは一線を画し、抽象芸術家としての彼女の多才さを示している。鉛筆、インク、水彩が繊細に絡み合い、幾何学的な形と微妙な色のグラデーションが表面を踊り、彼女の独創的な形と質感の探求を反映している。1963年以降、彼女が版画やドローイングへと移行し、1950年代の絵画的な織物から脱却したことを浮き彫りにしている。





ベルリンに生まれ、1920年代にバウハウスで訓練を受け、後に教鞭をとったアルバースは、機能性と大胆な抽象性を融合させた前衛的なテキスタイル・デザインを開拓した。ブラック・マウンテン・カレッジ在学中やメキシコへの旅行で、彼女はコロンブス以前の美術に触れ、忘れ去られた技法や抽象的なモチーフの使用に影響を与えた。その親密なスケールと個人的な出自は、彼女の大規模な公的依頼作品とは対照的に、ユニークな魅力を与えている。この作品は、20世紀のアートとデザインにおけるアルバースの遺産である、実験的な精神を垣間見ることができる。
