JOSEF ALBERS "GARDEN YELLOWS" SERIGRAPH, 1969
Josef Albers (1888-1976) is affiliated with numerous definitional movements in 20th century art. Art Historians credit Albers for fusing elements of American and European abstraction while influencing minimalism, hard-edge painting, and Op art.
Albers was both a student and later professor at the Bauhaus in Germany. After the prestigious academy was closed by the Nazis, Albers and his wife Anni (a fantastically talented textile artist in her own right) emigrated to the United States.
This is a classic and instantly recognizable example of Albers' signature motif from the 1960s. Hypnotic, simple, and striking, Albers uses color and geometry to maximum effect, creating an image that seems to transmogrify itself with each passing moment. In this iteration, an array of yellow squares punch through one another. Evoking the earthy yellows of marigolds, mustard seed, and bumble bees, this technically impressive print is a captivating composition to behold.
In addition to being an influence on many artists, Albers was a significant mentor and taught major artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly, and Eva Hesse at Black Mountain College and Yale. His strict approach in abstraction inspired a generation of minimalists including Donald Judd and Robert Morris.
