Abstraction Squared

January 23 - July 10, 2016 -  This exhibition drawn mostly from the Zimmerli’s collection of American art demonstrates the transformative qualities of geometry and color—and presents a tongue-in-cheek homage to Josef Albers and the square. One of the legendary teachers of the twentieth century, Albers had a tremendous influence on generations of students at Black Mountain College, where he taught when he first arrived in the United States from the Bauhaus in 1933, and at Yale, where he finished his teaching career in 1958.
