Teamwork is key to the colors in “Study for Homage to the Square, 1970” by Josef Albers. The artist discovered that colors are seen as particular shades in relation to the colors that surround them. In 1949, Albers revolutionized color theories with his “Homage to the Square,” a series of hundreds of paintings and prints exploring the effects produced by layered, colored squares.

Exhibited worldwide, his theoretically and artistically renowned works have influenced Hard Edge, Op and conceptual artists.
