The work is registered in the catalogue raisonné of the paintings of Josef Albers as 1956.1.22.

“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 color. It’s amazing that it so quietly produces such brilliance.” (D. Judd, Painting on Paper: Josef Albers in America, Munich, p. 35).
