Print Project Space | Anni Albers

Following the Alan Cristea Gallery’s recent major retrospective of Anni Albers’s prints, this presentation in the gallery’s Print Project Space includes highlights from her printmaking career. Admired for her pioneering wall hangings and textile works, Anni Albers was also a prolific printmaker. First turning her attention to the medium in her mid-60s, she quickly started to use printmaking techniques to achieve results not possible in any other medium.

In 1985, Albers claimed that it was her prints that finally brought her recognition, “I find that, when the work is made with threads, it’s considered a craft, when it’s on paper, it’s considered art.”
