{"product_id":"82162-anni-albers-constructing-textiles","title":"Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles","description":"Anni Albers is a significant artist and designer of the 20th century. Her designs today serve as an example for a new generation of artists and designers working with textile materials. Albers herself viewed her work as an adventure and, in her writings, advocated for the \"power of creation.\" Her experimental work explored new materials and textures. This catalog illuminates her work not only in textile art but also as a writer and pioneering thinker. Albers' textile works, such as room dividers and curtains, bear witness to a spatial thinking that is explored here for the first time. Her focus on the principles of limitation and longevity, as well as a careful use of material, are particularly relevant today. Contributions from contemporary architects, designers, and theorists shed light on this important aspect of spatial thinking in her work. Three central texts by Albers from the 1940s to the 1960s, including the titular \"Constructing Textiles,\" are made accessible in German for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can listen to a book review by Deutschlandfunk Kultur on Studio 9 with Thorsten Jantschek \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de\/buchkritik-anni-albers-constructing-textiles-100.html\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANNI ALBERS (1899, Berlin–1994, Orange, CT) was a German-American textile artist, weaver, and graphic designer.
