拍品专文

‘In Albers’s painting there is very much a simple, suitable and natural wholeness to the arrangement of squares within squares, which is one of the best ideas in the world, one which provided enormous versatility and complexity. This arrangement is easily at one with the color’ (D. Judd, quoted in Josef Albers, exh. cat., The Chinati Foundation, Marfa, 1991, p. 10).
