From 26 September 2013 to 6 January 2014, the Fondazione Stelline, in collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, will host Milan’s first ever monographic exhibition of the work of the great modernist and Bauhaus Artist,
Josef Albers.
Josef Albers: Sublime Optics explores the spiritual elements in Albers’s art. Raised as a Catholic, and maintaining his religious practice lifelong, Albers incorporated traditional imagery in a lot of his work, and, even when he did not, regarded
transformation of color and line as spiritual, even mystical, events.
Curated and installed by Nick Murphy (Projects Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation), and based on an exhibition conceived and selected by Nicholas Fox Weber (Executive Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation), Josef Albers: Spirituality and Rigor offers a unique perspective on the Bauhaus Master.
At the Bauhaus, where Albers was both student and teacher, from 1920-1933, Italy was an important source of inspiration.
In 1934, the year following the closing of the Bauhaus, Wassily Kandinsky organized an exhibition of Albers’s prints in Milan.
This is the first time there has been an exhibition of Josef Albers’s work in Milan since that exhibition nearly 80 years ago. Albers
would be thrilled to have his work shown so close to ‘The Last Supper’, a great masterpiece of the artist he so intensely
respected – Leonardo.
