Color Study (Blue and Reds)

This 1970 colour study by Anni Albers was designed for a wall hanging. Triangular motifs reflect the tension between order and chaos in nature's crystalline structures, as well as Anni's 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.
