Check out the L.A. art show that honors an mostly unknown Bauhaus artist -- likely overlooked because she was a woman.
If there were any justice in this world, those hearing the name Albers would ask “which one?” rather than assume a reference to Josef, the painter, color theorist and influential teacher. The other Albers — Anni — hasn’t occupied as much of the art historical limelight, for the maddeningly usual reasons: She was a woman, and she worked in a medium historically associated with craft and utility more than art.
“Material Meaning: A Living Legacy of Anni Albers” at the Craft in America Center in L.A. pays homage to her spirit and methods. The show features textile work by 10 contemporary artists , each piece annotated with a few words about its relationship to something Albers practiced or taught. Personal statements by each artist further reflect on Albers as inspiration and implicit mentor. The show, guest-curated by Cameron Taylor-Brown, is steeped in reverence and spiked with formal ingenuity.
