Lot Essay

Works have been selected from forty years of Albers' search and offer an unusual opportunity for study of this significant artist's direct participation in an original development of his own work. The conceptual relationships between color and form inherent in each particular work have been restudied and developed for the medium of screenprinting... No attempt has been made to present the work in chronological order; rather, for each portfolio the artist has placed the folders in a sequential order so that they may be seen and examined for their visual interaction.
