  • by Ann Coxon, Briony Fer, Maria Müller-Schareck
Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver, writer and printmaker, who was among the leading pioneers of twentieth-century modernism. Throughout her fruitful career she inspired a reconsideration of fabrics, truly establishing thread and weaving as a valid medium for art. In her later years, Albers took up print-making, translating many of her persistent themes and ideas into two-dimensional form. This beautifully illustrated book redefines her contribution to 20th-C art and design.
