Sublime Optics

From 26 September 2013 to 6 January 2014, the Fondazione Stelline in collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers

Foundation, is hosting Milan’s first ever monographic exhibition of the work of the great modernist and Bauhaus Artist,

Josef Albers.

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.

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, Josef Albers. Sublime Optics offers a unique perspective on the Bauhaus Master.
