Anni and Josef Albers, married for 50 years, lived in a manner entirely concomitant with their approach to the making of art and with the priority that they gave to human creativity.
Anni Albers, ca. 1929–33
The Alberses’ ideas remain alive and will do so into the future.
Anni Albers
Anni considered visual art a source of stability and joy in spite of the inevitable vagaries and complexity of human existence.
