Albers catalogue raisonne free online

Owners of artworks made by Josef Albers are invited to contact the Albers Foundation to ensure that their pieces are properly and fully documented in the artist’s catalogue raisonné. The catalogue is a complete and authoritative source for information about Albers’s artistic production, useful for collectors, scholars, curators, and gallerists. Importantly, inclusion in the catalogue is also a warrantee of an artwork’s authenticity. Following on publication of the catalogue of Josef Albers’s prints, the Foundation is now preparing the catalogue of Albers’s paintings, comprising over 3,800 works, including paintings on masonite, paper, cardboard, and aluminum, as well as early glass paintings and the Structural Constellations. The catalogue traces Albers’s creative development over six decades, from his early portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, his work in glass at the Bauhaus, the abstract works created at Black Mountain College, through the Variant/Adobes and his masterwork experiments with form and color, the Homage to the Square series. Registration of an artwork in the catalogue can begin with a simple inquiry to the Foundation that includes basic information about the artwork (title, date, media, dimensions); any known history of ownership, publication, and exhibition; and photographs of the front and reverse of the piece. info@albersfoundation.org link to catalogue raisonne : www.albersfoundation.org
