About the Item

Edition 38/100 Josef Albers (b.1888, Germany ) built legacies as an artist, designer, and teacher, and may be familiar to any former student of art or design (even if for only one, introductory class) as the author of the seminal Interaction of Color (1963, Yale University Press). Before his professorship and writing at Yale, he’d been among the original faculty of the Bauhaus school of design in Germany, and taught at the legendary, experimental Black Mountain College upon immigrating to the U.S. He developed, in both his curricula and his own work, notions of optical illusion, relative experience of color and form, and the intersection of function and design. In the 1960s as he delved into printmaking as a direct artistic medium alongside his partner Anni Albers, he created a series of inkless prints as an exploration of line, shape, and form, completely absent color and value. He called these compositions Embossed Linear Constructions, or E.L.C.s, and produced them by hand in limited edition, signing, dating, and numbering each delicately in pencil.
