The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation is delighted to announce a new, expanded, full-color edition of Anni Albers's On Weaving, published by Princeton University Press. This updated version of the pivotal 1965 book will be available in September.

Please join us for the launch party and a public conversation, moderated by Brenda Danilowitz, chief curator of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. The participants are Glenn Adamson, curator and theorist who works across fields of design, craft, and contemporary art; Christina Kim, artist, textile designer, and founder of the Los Angeles-based clothing brand dosa; and Billie Tsien, architect and partner at Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.

A reception follows the discussion, giving you a chance to speak with the panelists as well as Albers Foundation staff members and discover "the event of a thread" in Anni Albers's own words. On Weaving, which will be for sale during the event, is now available for preorder.

The talk and reception are free and open to the public. Registration for
 the talk is required and is available on a first-come, first-served basis; tickets are available here.

Special thanks to Vitra for their kind generosity. Additional support has been provided by Artek.
