Anni Albers (1899– 1994) was one of the leading figures of the 20th century in the field of textile design and textile art. As a Bauhaus student, she developed original fabrics using new materials as architectural elements. She is still considered a pioneer of fibre art today.
The exhibition focuses on her innovative contributions to renowned architectural projects. Fabric designs, textile artworks, prints, and drawings provide an overview of her fascinating work between design and art.
Curators: Fabienne Eggelhöfer and Brenda Danilowitz. Exhibition organized by the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Bethany, CT, in collaboration with the Belvedere, Vienna.
