Anni Albers: On Weaving
Vintage hardback book, On Weaving by Anni Albers. Published by Wesleyan University Press, 1965. Third printing, 204 pages.
A modernist textile manifesto by one of the Bauhaus’s most influential figures, On Weaving offers a profound meditation on structure, material, and human expression through fiber. With rigorous clarity and poetic insight, Anni Albers explores weaving as both an ancient craft and a modern art form, connecting prehistoric traditions to midcentury experimentation.
“Spanning a wide horizon, her analytic approach reaches back into earliest textile history to a pre-ceramic age, deliberates upon the present, and, looking ahead, considers that which may be.”
