Pinakothek der Moderne

The exhibition focuses on the artist's coloured works on paper, largely created in conjunction with his principal work »Homage to the Square«. The works - most of which are being presented to the public for the very first time - surprise the viewer with their spontaneity, their search for immediacy and the extraordinary delicacy of their colours. Albers studied the interaction of colours like virtually no other. Through his works on paper in particular it can be seen in detail how the artist achieved such a thorough osmosis of surface and space through increasing the density of the colours used.

Later touring to: Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop, Kupferstichkabinett Basel, planned: Centre Pompidou, Paris, The Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon and The Morgan Library and Museum, New York.
