Affinities: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Paul Klee

David Zwirner is pleased to announce Affinities: Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Paul Klee, curated by Nicholas Fox Weber. On view at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location in Chelsea, this exhibition presents the work of these three artists who overlapped at the Bauhaus during the 1920s and early 1930s and who greatly respected one another’s work.

Affinities presents works by all three artists from their time at the Bauhaus as well as from their later years, showcasing their distinct but overlapping aesthetic styles. The exhibition features an extensive and varied selection of works by the Alberses from The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and notable works by Klee on loan from institutional and private collectors, as well as additional Klee works from the collection of Alain and Doris Klee. Additional support for the exhibition has been generously provided by the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern.

This exhibition precedes a major survey of Anni Albers’s work that will be presented at the Zentrum Paul Klee from November 2025 to February 2026. The traveling exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction, curated by Lynne Cooke and featuring works by Anni Albers, will open at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in April 2025.
