From Connections 1925-1983 - Screenprint on 150-gram Umbria paper - Signed, Dated and Numbered

Anni Albers’s Untitled 5 of 9 (from Connections), created between 1925 and 1983, is a limited edition lithograph that showcases Albers’s minimalist abstraction. Measuring 27 x 20 cm, the composition features a single flowing white line that twists and turns on a solid black background. The organic, meandering path of the line creates a dynamic contrast against the stark simplicity of the background, evoking both motion and stillness. This work reflects Albers’s interest in line, form, and texture, echoing the fluidity found in her textile designs while maintaining a strong sense of modernist abstraction.

Anni Albers (Germany/USA, 1899–1994) was a visionary textile artist and printmaker who revolutionized modern weaving. A key figure in the Bauhaus movement, she combined geometric abstraction with traditional techniques. Albers’ writings, like On Weaving, and her innovative approach to textiles elevated the medium to a fine art, influencing generations of artists.

You can't predict what a work of art will be like; it is a discovery.
- Anni Albers

Anni (Annelise) Albers is regarded as being a significant influence on the renaissance of abstract weaving as a viable and impressive art-form. Her work mainly consisted of textiles and prints in bold colors with a focus on geometric patterns.

Using experimental materials, including metallic thread and horsehair yarn, Anni Albers was is considered the first artist to combine avant-garde geometric abstractions and weaving, an impressive feat for an artist who chose weaving due to it being one of the few accessible disciplines available to women in the early 20th century.

Interesting to note is the evolution of Albers’ work following her move from Berlin to the United States where she found inspiration from pre-Columbian textiles which she incorporated into her later works. Where she originally focused on using old, largely forgotten techniques to create functional and aesthetically pleasing weavings, her later career saw her focus more on creating prints and drawings, with her growing reputation allowing her the freedom to chose commissions she felt passionate about.

What is Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
