From the Bauhaus to Black Mountain, the Albers inspired each otherâand a generation of artists. By Ann Landi Dec. 31, 2020 10:41 am ET The 20th century produced its fair share of powerhouse artist couples, among them Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia OâKeeffe, Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler and Robert Motherwell, and Willem and Elaine de Kooning.

Inside page of Peter Beard published by TASCHEN. Why it’s worth it: When the writer, photographer, and all-around bon vivant Peter Beard died this year at age 82, he left an indelible mark on the art world and everyone he met, from the wilds of Africa to the seedy bars of New York City.

And they are the perfect couple for such treatment with lives, opinions, tastes, and art his paintings and her textiles that were so closely interdependent. The pair met as students in the early 1920s at the Bauhaus, first in Weimar, then in Dessau, and finally in Berlin. But soon Josef would be named a Master and Anni would be the first to be awarded a degree from the school’s weaving workshop. They would follow the school to Berlin, where Josef (by then the longest faculty member) would be key in the decision to close the school rather than succumb to Nazi interference. The closest of their many Bauhaus friends had been Marcel Breuer and Paul Klee. They accepted f ....
