Josef Albers — Never Before: nine plates
Josef Albers

Never Before: nine plates

A suite of nine screenprints by Josef Albers, *Never Before* exemplifies the artist's lifelong investigation into the interaction of color and geometric form. Each plate presents precise, concentric squares of carefully calibrated hues, demonstrating how subtle shifts in color relationships can dramatically alter perception. Published by Tyler Graphics in Bedford Village, New York, this numbered edition of 46 represents a masterful culmination of Albers' foundational theories on color and optics.

Medium
Seven signed (as issued), all titled, dated, and numbered 14/46 in pencil (there were also 10 artist's proofs), published by Tyler Graphics, Bedford Village, New York (with their blindstamps), all framed.
