拍品專文

This work is to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work being prepared by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation as No. JAAF 1965.1.35.

"They contain simple, great statements such as: I'm standing here. I'm resting here. I'm in the world and on the earth. I'm in no hurry to move on. While Mark Rothko sought transcendence, Albers looked for fulfillment here on earth. Mark Rothko approached the ethereal through art. Josef Albers realized 'the spiritual in art'"
(H. Arp quoted in W. Schmied, "Fifteen Notes on Josef Albers," trans. by B. Barrett and Claudia Deniers in Josef Albers, exh. cat., London, 1989, pp. 9-10).
