ANNI AND JOSEF ALBERS by Lake Verea

20世紀を代表するドイツ人テキスタイルアーティスト、アニ・アルバース(Anni Albers)と夫であり抽象画家、教育者のヨゼフ・アルバース(Josef Albers)の遺品を撮影した作品集。撮影は、メキシコ出身の写真家の二人組、レイク・ヴェレア(Lake Verea)が手がけた。

2人はドイツのデッサウとベルリンにあった芸術学校「バウハウス」の生徒である。1933年に二人はともにアメリカに亡命し、その後「ブラックマウンテン・カレッジ」、そしてコネチカット州べサニーに辿り着いた。テキスタイルアートと絵画や色彩理論で、互いに独立した作品群を残し、後世に影響を与えた。

バウハウスで活躍した2人は、カップルとしてもよく知られている。数々の有名な作品、教師、お手本として影響を与えた2人は、両者の人生と活動の証である。本書は、作者らが個人的に残したものをレイク・ヴェレアによって撮影されたものを収録している。レイク・ヴェレアは「アニ & ヨゼフ・アルバース財団」と協力し、財団の所蔵品から芸術的創造の物質的・知的痕跡を追跡している。バウハウスの同僚と交わした手紙、絵具チューブ、布の繊維が鮮明に臨場感あふれる描写で記録。これらのオブジェは想像の翼をはためかせて、そこには、20世紀の美術史に貢献した芸術家たちの手による、モノ、会話、思考回路を伺うことができる。

詳細

Not only were they two of the outstanding artists of the Bauhaus, but also a well-known couple. Their many famous works and the artists they influenced as teachers and role models bear witness to their life and work. But that is not all, as another ingenious couple literally shows us. The photographer duo Lake Verea has joined forces with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation to trace the material and intellectual traces of their artistic creativity in their estate. Correspondence with Bauhaus colleagues, tubes of paint and fabric fibers are captured with an extraordinary feel and vividness. Seeing the objects gives wings to the imagination. For inevitably, one sees the hands of the artists at work, who formed their very own contribution to 20th century art history from these objects, conversations and trains of thought.

ANNI ALBERS (1899–1994) and JOSEF ALBERS (1888–1976) were both Bauhaus artists in Dessau and Berlin. Together they emigrated to the USA in 1933, where their path led them to Black Mountain College and finally to Bethany. With their textile art and his painting and theory, both left behind an oeuvre that was both independent and influential for later generations.
FRANCISCA RIVERO-LAKE CORTINA (*1973) and CARLA VEREA HERNÁNDEZ (*1978) always appear together as photographers. This, together with their extraordinary eye, makes them one of the most extraordinary and versatile phenomena in contemporary photography. Their works are accordingly represented in the most renowned exhibitions and collections.
