① Artwork:
I-S a and I-S b
This pair of prints depict chromatically colored simple geometric forms; in these works, the artist investigates how the perception of color is affected by those adjacent to it and other spatial properties.
These prints are the first editions that Brooke Alexander published when he started his business in 1968. Brooke Alexander’s approach as a publisher has been to remain free to match the right people to the right project. In this case, long-time Albers collaborators Ives-Sillman, Inc. printed the screenprints, and Brooke made his mark in the editions world.

③ Artist:
Josef Albers's paintings are tightly focused investigations into the properties of color and spatial relationships. The artist worked with simple geometric forms to explore the effects of chromatic interaction—especially how visual perception of a color is affected by those adjacent to it. Albers's precise application of color also created plays on space and depth, as the colored shapes that make up the majority of his works appear to either recede into or protrude out of the picture plane.
