About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1974 print by Anni Albers, combining screenprint and offset lithograph techniques. It features a repeating pattern of sharp yellow triangles on a soft gray background.
Subject & Meaning
The print's geometric pattern reflects Albers' long-standing interest in texture, pattern, and material experimentation, drawing on her background in textile design and weaving.
Technique & Style
The use of screenprinting allowed for precise repetition of the design, resulting in a uniform and rhythmic arrangement of identical triangles. The clean edges and bold color contrast with the subtle background.
History & Provenance
Albers developed her artistic practice at the Bauhaus, where she refined her weaving skills, and was influenced by her earlier studies under Martin Brandenburg.
