ANNI ALBERS Do IV.
Color screenprint on Fabriano Cottone paper, 1973. 483x483 mm; 19x19 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 47/50 in pencil, lower margin. Published by Edition Domberger, Stuttgart, with the blind stamp lower left. A very good impression of this scarce print.
According to Nicholas Fox Weber, in his introduction to the Guggenheim Museum's 1999 retrospective on the artist, Albers became a printmaker late in her career and collaborated with leading printers to blend screenprinting with photo-offset lithography, as well as with other print media to create unprecedented, experimental works. Fox Weber wrote, "No wonder she so often quoted Kandinsky's, 'There is always an 'and'.' That verity certainly applied to her . . . Her faith in art, and the encapsulation of its possibilities was nothing short of marvelous." Weber/Danilowitz 35.
