Josef Albers: Innovation and Inspiration
The Hirshhorn possesses one of the world's largest and most comprehensive collections of work by Josef Albers (American, b. Bottrop, Germany, 1888; d. New Haven, Connecticut, 1976). The exhibition presents nearly seventy works spanning the artist's 50-year career, many of which are on view for the first time. Supplementing the installation are key objects on loan from the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.
