Study for Camino Real

This 1967 colour study showcases Anni Albers' wall hanging designs for Mexico City's Camino Real Hotel. Her exploration of triangular motifs reflects an engagement with the tension between order and chaos in nature's crystalline structures, as well as an interest in Mexican culture. Inspired by her many visits to Mexico and her fascination with Mesoamerican forms, she also collected pre-Columbian artefacts and textiles.

Created in close collaboration with the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation to honour the legacy of one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Modernism.
