Sobre el libro Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles de Brenda Danilowitz i Fabienne Eggelhöfer publicado por Yale University Press al 2026:

A beautifully illustrated look at the works of Anni Albers with a focus on the architectural dimensions of her work Anni Albers (1899–1994) has long been revered as a trailblazing weaver, textile designer and visual artist; her books On Designing and On Weaving are also canonical writings in design history. Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles explores the ideas of materiality, construction and architecture across her body of work, establishing her legacy as a thinker, theoretician and innovator. The book’s essays include writings by Albers herself on the making and meaning of textiles, as well as new pieces by Glenn Adamson on her relationship to architecture, Karis Medina on the material and technique of her weavings, Amy Jean Porter on her writing, and Jeffrey Saletnik on East Asian influences in Albers’ work and thinking. Among the book’s hundreds of beautifully reproduced images are works held in private collections that have never before been published. An essential volume in the literature about modernism, this book reinforces Albers’ position as a leading figure in twentieth-century art.
