“Mexico is truly the promised land of abstract art,” Josef Albers wrote to his former Bauhaus colleague Vasily Kandinsky in 1936. Josef Albers in Mexico reveals the profound link between the art and architecture of ancient Mesoamerica and Albers’s abstract works on canvas and paper. With his wife, the artist Anni Albers, Albers toured pre-Columbian archeological sites and monuments during his twelve or more trips to Mexico and other Latin American countries between 1935 and 1968. On each visit, Albers took black-and-white photographs of pyramids, shrines, sanctuaries, and landscapes, which he later assembled into rarely seen photo collages. The resulting works demonstrate Albers’s continued formal experimentation with geometry, this time accentuating a pre-Columbian aesthetic. Josef Albers in Mexico brings together photographs, photo collages, prints, and significant paintings from the Variants/Adobe (1946–1966) and Homage to the Square (1950–1976) series from the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. Two scholarly essays, an illustrated map, and vivid color reproductions of paintings and works on paper illuminate this little-known period in the influential artist’s practice.

Vasily Kandinsky, 1912
An artist both of her time and well ahead of it, Hilma af Klint was a rare original. Years before such Modernist pioneers as Piet Mondrian and Vasily Kandinsky dipped their brushes into abstraction, af Klint was breaking ground with colorful, energetic compositions that veered away from the figurative. Her group of paintings called The Ten Largest focuses on the stages of human life; No. 3, Youth, featured on this 1000-piece puzzle, is aswirl with botanical elements and painted words, as she attempted to reconcile art, science, and religion through her brilliant artwork.Gather with family and friends for puzzle-piecing together!Our luxury puzzles are crafted with attention to every detailHigh-quality 250-GSM matte artpaper for superior color, crisp details, and no glareRibbon-cut thick board for snug fit and minimal dustProduced using thick recycled paper boardIncludes a 9 x 12 in. insert of the art for puzzle assembly referenceExclusive selection of art from museums and artists around the worldBox size: 10 x 13 x 1.875 in.Puzzle size: 20 x 27 in
