Description
A luxurious two-volume edition with the complete original plates, text, and commentary
“Absolutely stunning.”—Felix Salmon, Reuters
Josef Albers’s masterwork, Interaction of Color, is one of the most influential books on colour ever published. Originally issued in 1963 as a limited-edition set of commentary and 150 silkscreened colour plates, the book introduced generations of students, artists, designers, and collectors to Albers’s unique approach to complex principles.
This beautiful edition brings Interaction of Color back into classrooms and studios and onto bookshelves, where it will find an eager new audience. It replicates Albers’s revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as colour relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of colour, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps that illustrate his astonishing demonstrations of the changing and relative nature of colour. Also included for the first time are studies from the Albers archive, produced by the artist’s students in the early 1960s.
This celebration of Albers’s legendary achievements is an essential addition to any serious art library.
Published in association with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation

In 1933 he came to the United States, where he taught at Black Mountain College for sixteen years. In 1950 he joined the faculty at Yale University as chairman of the Department of Design. The recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, Albers was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1968 and was professor emeritus of art at Yale until his death in 1976.
