ANNI ALBERS PO II.
Screenprint and photo-offset on Arches, 1973. 380x318 mm; 15x12 1/2 inches, full margins. Signed, dated, titled and numbered 3/30 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Sirocco Screenprints, North Haven, and Fox Press, West Hartford. Published by Jack Pollock Gallery, Toronto. A very good impression.
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 40.
