Josef Albers: Formulation : Articulation - Tapa dura

Belongs in every serious painter and art historian's library. --The Art Book

Encapsulates almost half-a-century's research on Albers' part ... we're lucky to have this book. Though costing £60, it almost seems a bargain. --The Architects' Journal

...a feast of colour and fine printing ... [Albers's] sense of colour comes across superbly in this most desirable book: highly recommended. --The Spectator

A masterpiece of graphic art ... one of the great graphic works of the 20th century and, arguably, the greatest sequence of abstract prints ever made. --The Independent on Sunday

Beautiful ... illuminating text by T. G. Rosenthal. --The Spectator

Superb ... in their book form of theme and variation [these prints] have a new eloquence and will vastly enhance Albers's accessibility. --The Times Literary Supplement

Formulation : Articulation, the summation of Josef Albers’ creative life, is now published in book form for the first time. Albers drew on over forty years’ work in a variety of media – woodcuts, sandblasted glass pictures and oil paintings – to create the 127 abstract images, which explore colour and form. This volume retains the layout of the original portfolios, with one, two or four images across two pages, and Albers’ comments, including key passages from his own writings, are supplied in two fold-out sections.
