Anni Albers (American (born Germany), 1899–1994) Printed by Aris Koutroulis (American (born Greece), 1938–2013) Printed at Tamarind Lithography Workshop, Inc., Los Angeles (1960–1970) Published by Tamarind Lithography Workshop, Inc., Los Angeles (1960–1970)

Born Annelise Fleischmann, Anni Albers studied and taught at the famous Bauhaus design school in Weimar and Dessau, Germany, where she married fellow teacher Josef Albers in 1925. When the school closed in Berlin in 1933, the couple emigrated to the United States, where they taught at Black Mountain College, an experimental school near Asheville, North Carolina. Anni Albers is celebrated as a leading textile artist of the twentieth century, but she became a dedicated printmaker in 1963, when she made her first prints at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. In the portfolio Line Involvements, Albers expresses the intricacy of weaving as a meandering rope that wanders purposefully over a textured surface.
