Anni Albers: In Thread and On Paper @ Blanton Museum of Art, Austin

The Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, Texas, presents Anni Albers: In Thread and On Paper. From the exhibition’s website:

Anni Albers: In Thread and On Paper highlights how nimbly Albers moved between mediums—including her shift from weaving to printmaking in the 1960s—and transitioned between making art and designing functional and commercial objects. Drawn from the collection of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, the exhibition focuses on groundbreaking work from the last 40 years of her life. In addition to Albers’s woven rugs, tapestries, drawings, and prints, the exhibition features her loom and wallpaper based on her designs. 

The exhibition is scheduled to run until 30 June, 2024.
