Josef Albers

In the organizer's words:

The extension from 2022 gives the museum the opportunity to present its unique Albers collection permanently and with Free admission in the designated part of the building from 1983.

Based on the biographical stages of Josef Albers, the exhibition shows the artist's entire oeuvre: from the early figurative works created in his native town of Bottrop and in the Ruhr region, to abstract works from his time in the glass workshop at the Bauhaus, to his most famous paintings today, which he created in the USA after 1933. It was there that his enthusiasm for painting and color was rekindled, culminating in the "Homage to the Square" series. Between 1950 and 1976, he created more than 2000 paintings in square format that pay homage to color. In the exhibition, some selected examples can be experienced in the central skylight room.
