Intussen, in het leven van Josef Albers
Het hele leven1954–1973
Fireplaces and façades with the architect King-lui Wu
Albers created decorative designs for buildings by the Yale professor and architect King-lui Wu: geometric fireplaces for the Rouse (1954) and DuPont (1959) houses, the façade of the Manuscript Society, a Yale secret senior society (1962), and a design for Mt. Bethel Baptist Church (1973).
1962
A Graham Foundation grant
As a fellow at Yale, Albers received a grant from the Graham Foundation for an exhibition and lecture on his work.
1963
Publishes “Interaction of Color”
The book records an experiential way of studying and teaching colour: Albers held that colour “is almost never seen as it really is” and that “colour deceives continually”. The very rare first edition of 2,000 copies contained 150 silkscreen plates; the book is considered a seminal work of colour theory.
