FORMULATION ARTICULATION

Albers, Josef. FORMULATION ARTICULATION. Abrams/Ives-Stillman, NY, 1972. Castleman, A Century of Artist's Books, page 138. Two volumes, gray linem portfolios, each in a gray linen slipcase measuring 21 x 16 1/2 inches. Number 679 of the edition of 1000, signed by Albers. Introductory text with notes and 66 fascicles (33 in each portfolio), containing 127 silk-screened prints. Printed on Mohawk Superfine wove paper. A superb production of one of Albers' most important and influential works. Despite the relatively large size of the edition, so many sets have either been acquired by insititutions, or broken up for the individual plates that the work is now infrequently found complete. Fine condition.
