Josef and Anni Albers: Designs for Living

Curated by Nicholas Fox Weber, the exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum brings together the domestic creations of a German designer couple who were pioneers of modernism and among the leading exponents of the Bauhaus. The exhibit has some of their lesser-known products, including everyday objects and furniture with which the couple surrounded themselves in their house in Dessau.

Here the Alberses lived – next door neighbours to Klee and Kandinsky – up until the closure of the school in 1933 by the Nazis. On show for the first time are fabrics and jewellery taken from objects in daily use, such as paper clips by Anni and the furniture and accessories designed by Josef. E.S.
