Josef Albers: To Open Eyes takes the reader through Albers's life in teaching - from his first years at the pioneering but politically fraught Bauhaus; to his 1933 emigration to the United States, where he and his wife Anni became founding members and teachers at the experimental start-up Black Mountain College; and again to his 1950 appointment to head up Yale University's newly restructured Department of Design. Throughout his forty years in education, Albers influenced everyone he encountered not, as one former student says, as a "tour guide of the world of art, but rather as a living embodiment of that world."

—Revised edition featuring 13 newly catalogued prints, updated introductory essay incorporating new scholarship, and up-to-date bibliography and exhibitions list —Publication coincides with celebrating the 90th anniversary of the school and Bauhaus movement in which Albers was a major figure —Important Bauhaus exhibition at New York's MoMA opening November 2009 One of the great abstract artists and art teachers of the twentieth century, Josef Albers (1888-1976) influenced generations of artists with his color theories. Born in Germany and a leading figure at the Bauhaus from 1929 to 1933, he settled in the United States in 1934, and later taught at Yale University. As author Brenda Danilowitz writes, the processes and excitement of printmaking fulfilled many of Albers's loftiest dreams. He relished its implicit detachment: the way that the medium removed his hand at least one step from the end result. He appreciated the possibilities of texture available, and treasured the multitude of color choices available in ink, a range he often said was far greater than was available with paints. This revised catalogue raisonne makes important additions to the record of Albers's great accomplishment in the print medium, and its arrival is particularly timely this year.
