This fall, the Albers Foundation is pleased to announce a major gift of fifty-seven works to the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, which organized the retrospective Anni and Josef Albers: Art and Life last year.

Following the dual retrospective Anni and Josef Albers: Art and Life, organized by the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in 2021, the Albers Foundation is pleased to announce a gift of fifty-seven works to the museum. The gift comprises twenty-two works by Josef Albers, including three Homage to the Square paintings, and thirty-five works by Anni Albers, featuring both textiles and prints, as well as a selection of archival and educational materials. The gift will be unveiled in its permanent gallery space on September 15. 

The donation is the largest made by the Foundation in the last twenty-five years and represents a major addition to the museum’s collection.
