About the Item

Josef Albers (after) Homage to the Square: Grisaille and Patina (from "Albers") Screenprint in brilliant Colors on strong wove paper double folded, 1971 Image 6.25 x 6.25 inches Sheet: 9 x 7.625 inches Unsigned Published by Landesmuseum Museum fuer Kunst und Kulturgeschichte Muenster in collaboration with Verlag Aurel Bongers KG, Recklinghausen, Germany - 1971 Serigraphs by Trautwein KG, Recklinghausen, Germany Edition: Limited; 1,500 ------------------ Josef Albers was a German-American artist and educator, best known for his series Homage to the Square. His rigid, geometric works focus on the interplay of color and shape, and Albers is considered one of the fathers of both Minimalism and Conceptual Art. Albers was born in Bottrop, Germany, and relocated to Munich in 1919 to study at the city’s Academy of Fine Arts. Albers began his career as an educator at the famous Bauhaus in 1922, first as a stained glass instructor and then as a full professor in 1925. Working at the Bauhaus brought Albers into contact with many other famous artists of the period, including Kandinsky and Klee. When the Nazis forced the Bauhaus’ closure in 1933, Albers left Germany and settled permanently in the United States. For ten years, Albers (and his wife, fellow artist Anni Albers) taught at Black Mountain College, a progressive school in North Carolina. Between his time there and later at Yale University, Albers taught a number of artists who would later become quite famous, including Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, Eva Hesse, Ruth Asawa and Richard Anuszkiewicz.

  • Venedig 1997 Minimalist Conceptual Architectural Silkscreen
    By Gerhard Merz
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Genre: Other Subject: Architecture Medium: Print Surface: Paper Country: Germany Dimensions: 19 3/4" x 15 3/4" Dimensions w/Frame: 22 3/4" x 19" Gerhard Merz Venedig 1997 1998 From the portfolio Sequences printed on Magnani rag paper. print 50 x 40 cm (19¾ x 15¾"), signed and numbered. Edition of 60. Gerhard Merz, born 1947 in Mammendorf near Munich, lives and works in Berlin and Pescia, Italy. Gerhard Merz, who has occasionally been labeled a modern classicist, uses the elements of art - measurement, form and light - in a careful reconsideration of modernism. These three prints document the idea, the architectural plan, and the realized art space at the German Pavillion of the Venice Biennale 1997: brick walls, plaster and fluorescent light - clarity and blankness. »The beautiful is mute and blank.« Gerhard Merz (born 25 May 1947 in Mammendorf , Kreis Fürstenfeldbruck ) is a German artist. From 1969 to 1973, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and became a student in the masterclass of Rudi Tröger . Between 1964 and 1969, inspired by Francis Bacon and Uwe Lausen, expressive pictures emerged and subsequently metal sculptures. Since the beginning of the 1970s, he has been increasingly successful with spatial installations in which he drew references to the history of literature and art, as well as to political history, as well as the development of large-format, monochrome images with lines of pencil strokes. In the building of the Federal Foreign Office in Bonn, he designed a wall through a large polychromatic mosaic. Starting in 1977, he was represented at Documenta in Kassel four times in a row. In 1983 he was awarded the Arnold-Bode-Prize of the documenta – City of Kassel . In 1991 he received a reputation as a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf . In 1998/1999 he was commissioned to design the rooms within the framework of the old building renovation of the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin in a joint project with the architect Hans Kollhoff...
