Love this short video of Josef Albers colour studies taken from a touring exhibition that started at The Pompidou Centre in 2012, Josef Albers in America: Paintings on Paper. See more here.

    1. They are stunning aren't they I love them, unfortunately I haven't seen the exhibition I don't think it has been to the UK and I am not sure if it's still touring or whether it has finished. I think it was last on at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/exhibition.asp?id=62 where you can purchase an exhibition catalogue. Might do a bit more research to see if it is going anywhere else.

  3. I am so glad you drew this video clip to my attention, its lovely and I am a massive Albers fan. I thought the music was very cleverly placed too. I was lucky enough to see his wife Anni Albers tapestries last year at the Dovecot Studio in Edinburgh and I was totally blown away, especially by a large metallic woven wall hanging she created as a student - what talent.

    1. Yes Niki what a talented couple they were. I am quite jealous of the exhibitions you have in Edinburgh, this is one I would definitely have wanted to see.

    2. Yes, well Edinburgh is such an expensive place to live so I feel I have to make use of all its amenities as much as possible to justify living in the city ;) There are literally hundreds of free exhibitions on all the time, its a massive bonus.
