Note du spécialiste

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

“In my work I am content to compete with myself and to search with simple palette and with simple color for manifold instrumentation. So I dare further variants” -Josef Albers
(Josef Albers, quoted in Josef Albers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art : An Exhibition of His Paintings and Prints, New York, 1971).
