Robert Adams and Josef Albers: The Discovery of Form

Robert Adams and Josef Albers: The Discovery of Form is concerned with a shared pictorial idea out of which the art of Adams and Albers develops. When Robert Adams was honored with a comprehensive exhibition at the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop in 2013, the photographer reflected on a potential connection between his work and that of Josef Albers: “It might seem improbable, with those familiar works in mind, that he and I would share a commitment, but we do: neither of us is concerned with self-expression, but instead with form, and the sustaining quiet that can accompany its discovery.”
