With the approaching centenary of the Bauhaus—perhaps the most important school of design in the 20th century—Connecticut artist and designer Bob Gregson will offer his reflections on Josef and Anni Albers, two Bauhaus members and later Connecticut residents who became leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism.
Gregson will examine the couple’s monumental influence in the art world, their presence in New Haven, and his impressions on meeting the couple for the first time.
The evening will include a temporary display of prints from the portfolio, Formulation: Articulation, donated to the New Haven Museum by the The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.
Admission is free.
