The artwork, titled “Black-White-Yellow,” was created by Anni Albers in 1926. It is composed of cotton and silk and belongs to the Abstract Art movement. As an abstract genre piece, it is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City, New York, United States.
“Black-White-Yellow” is characterized by its intricate interweaving of geometric patterns and a balanced color palette consisting of black, white, and yellow, along with shades of gray. The composition features a grid of rectangular forms with varying alignments, generating a rhythmic and dynamic visual effect. The alternating bands of color lend the artwork a sense of movement and complexity, indicative of Albers’ mastery in textile art and her innovative approach within the Abstract Art movement. This piece reflects a harmony between form and function, characteristic of Albers’ work in the Bauhaus tradition.
