Anni Albers: A Life

Nicholas Fox Weber

In the first major biography on Anni Albers, Nicholas Fox Weber traces the complex personality and influential artistic career of the groundbreaking modern artist. Weber follows Albers’s trajectory from her time at the Bauhaus and at Black Mountain College to her later years in New Haven, Connecticut; considers her relationship with Josef Albers; discusses her encounters with luminaries such as John Cage, Buckminster Fuller, Walter Gropius, Wassily Kandinsky, and Paul Klee; and foregrounds Albers’s perpetual curiosity, originality, and humor, as well as her novelistic sense of the world around her.
