Albers Tents Unisex Wool Scarf

This eye-catching motif comes from Josef Albers’s (American, b. Germany, 1888–1976) woodcut titled Tents (1933) in The Met collection. Albers was one of the most influential teachers at the Bauhaus in Germany, which shuttered the same year he created this print. Perhaps best known for his iconic nested squares, Albers was able to achieve a seemingly endless range of visual effects through color and geometry.
