Description:
SP X (1967) reflects Josef Albers’s enduring fascination with colour interaction and geometric precision. Created as a colour silkscreen on card, the work belongs to a very limited edition of just 17 impressions, making it an exceptionally rare example of Albers’s practice. The silkscreen exemplifies his methodical approach to form and hue, a hallmark of the artist’s lifelong exploration of visual perception and the relativity of colour.
Published by Edition Domberger for Galerie Der Spiegel in Cologne, SP X carries the hallmarks of Albers’s rigorous Bauhaus-inspired methodology, where subtle shifts in tone create dynamic spatial effects within simple geometric arrangements.
