ANNI ALBERS GR I.
Color screenprint on Arches, 1970. 510x409 mm; 20 1/4x16 1/4 inches, full margins. Signed, titled, dated and numbered 42/100 in pencil, lower margin. Published by Grippi Gallery, New York. A very good, richly-inked impression with vibrant colors.
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 71.
