Anni Albers at David Zwirner Gallery

Commissioned for the art-filled Camino Real Hotel in Palanco, Mexico, this vibrant felt hanging by Anni Albers epitomizes the energy expressed by her repeated use of triangles in asymmetrical compositions.  Recently rediscovered, it’s a standout in a collaborative exhibition with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and David Zwirner Gallery, a show that asserts Albers’ importance not just to 20th century weaving and textile-based work but to experimentation within the modernist idiom.  (On view in Chelsea through Oct 19th).

Anni Albers, Camino Real, felt, 116 x 105 ¾ inches, 1968.
