circa 1959

About the Item

Josef Albers Album Art circa late 1950s: A set of 4 vinyl record covers (containing their records) brilliantly designed by Josef Albers between 1958 and 1960. Looks fantastic framed as a group. Medium: Offset lithograph on vinyl album cover. 12x12 inches (dimensions applies to each individual). All covers are in very good overall vintage condition; each record is included in good to very good vintage condition. Unsigned, from an edition of unknown. Exhibitions & Literature: Each featured & catalogued in the 2019 exhibition, ‘Sonic Albers’; David Zwirner Gallery, New York, NY. Art & Vinyl (Franekel Gallery 2018). About Josef Albers: Josef Albers is best known for his seminal “Homage to the Square” series of the 1950s and '60s, which focused on the simplification of form and the interplay of shape and color. His abstract canvases employed rigid geometric compositions in order to emphasize the optical effects set off by his chosen color palettes. Albers was highly influential as a teacher, first at the Bauhaus in Germany alongside Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, and later with posts at Black Mountain College, Yale, and Harvard; he taught courses in design and color theory, and counted among his students such iconic artists as Eva Hesse, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Robert Rauschenberg & Cy Twombly. Albers is often cited among the forefathers of Minimalist, Conceptual, and Op art.
