In this wide-ranging conversation, featured topics include specific works—such as Anni Albers's 1968 wall hanging Camino Real, commissioned by Ricardo Legorreta for the hotel of the same name—as well as more broadly the influence of traditional weaving techniques and materials on Anni Albers's understanding of art and modernism.
