Josef Albers : Duets

Josef Albers revolutionized our view by demonstrating that color exists only in relation to others. The David Zwirner gallery highlights this chromatic dialogue through a series of compositions where two tones confront and balance each other. A master of the Bauhaus, the artist transforms geometry into a pure sensory experience: before our eyes, pigments seem to vibrate, advance or retreat depending on their immediate neighbor. This rare selection highlights the near-scientific precision and silent poetry of an artwork that redefined modern art. It is an opportunity to observe how the simplicity of a form can generate infinite visual complexity and alter our perception of space. The works are presented from January 15 to March 21, 2026.
