Screenprint on German etching paper - Signed, Titled and Dated // GB 2 (From Homage to the Square) by Josef Albers, created in 1969, is a screen print from the artist’s iconic Homage to the Square series. This limited edition piece is printed on German etching paper and features a composition of nested squares in varying shades of red and orange, meticulously arranged to explore the relationship between color and form. Albers' precise use of geometric shapes emphasizes how colors interact with one another, affecting the viewer's perception of depth and space. The simplicity of the squares contrasts with the complex optical effects generated by the color combinations. Albers, a master of color theory, used his Homage to the Square series to demonstrate how adjacent colors can dramatically influence the appearance of each hue. This screen print is signed, titled, and dated, marking it as a carefully crafted example of Albers’ exploration of minimalism and color interaction in abstract art.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
