| Summary: | "Anni and Josef Albers is the first book to support an exhibition of the artists' work in Australia. A series of original texts explore the influence of the Bauhaus on the long and significant careers of both artists and how their connection to the experimental school brought their work and ideas to Australia through collaboration with creatives including artist Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, architect Harry Seidler and master printer and philanthropist Kenneth Tyler. The book includes previously unpublished material from the Kenneth E Tyler archive, including images, studies and phone transcripts that elucidate the close working relationship between the three collaborators. Exquisitely illustrated with works from the national collection that tease out the artists' varied sources of inspiration, the publication captures the evolution of these innovative prints." -- Publisher's website. |
