Anni Albers (born Annelise Fleischmann, 1899–1994) and Josef Albers (1888–1976) met in 1922 at the Bauhaus and married three years later. From the outset, they shared the conviction that art could profoundly transform our world and should be at the very heart of human existence.
From the outset the pair made art and its function the core of their thinking. Not only did they insist on a revaluation of crafts and Bauhaus-style mass production as tools for the democratisation of art, they were also convinced that creation was essential to each person's education. As both artists and teachers, they constantly demonstrated the immeasurable impact of artistic activity on self-realisation and, more broadly, on relationships with others.

From September 10th 2021 to January 9th 2022 the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris is devoting a unique exhibition to Anni and Josef Albers: more than 350works – paintings, photographs, furniture, drawings, textiles – indicative of their artistic development.
In addition to its comprehensive presentation of their respective oeuvres, this is the first exhibition in France dedicated to the two artists as a couple: to the intimate, empathetic bond that underpinned a lifetime of mutual support and encouragement and an ongoing dialogue founded on shared respect. Not only did they create an oeuvre now considered the basis of modernism, they also passed on their educative values to a whole new generation of artists.
