拍品专文

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

‘For me color is my idiom. It’s automatic. I’m not paying “homage to the square”. It’s only the dish I serve my craziness about color in... All rendering of form, in fact all creative work moves between polarities: intuition and intellect, or possibly between subjectivity and objectivity. Their relative importance continually varies and they more or less always overlap... Color, in my opinion, behaves like man - in two distinct ways: first in self-realization and then in the realization of relationships with others... In other words, one must combine both being an individual and being a member of society’ (J. Albers, quoted in G. Alviani (ed.), Josef Albers, Milan 1988, pp. 235-236).
