The Story
Josef Albers in Mexico examines the influence of ancient Mesoamerican art and architecture on Josef Albers’ abstract practice across photography, painting, and works on paper. The book documents Albers’ repeated travels through Mexico and Latin America between 1935 and 1968, tracing how pre-Columbian structures informed his geometric experimentation. Photographs, rare photo collages, and key works from the Variants/Adobe and Homage to the Square series reveal this lesser-known period of his work. Scholarly essays, an illustrated map, and full-color reproductions contextualize Albers’ sustained engagement with the region.
