Meanwhile, the illustrations breathe easily on the heavy paper stock, never competing for attention with words.”-Felix Salmon, Reuters

The text on its own can be dense and difficult, but when accompanied by the illustrations, it comes to life immediately, and everything becomes clear. “ easy-to-page-through and gorgeously-bound book the only writing on each page is some small typography at the bottom which makes it very easy to cross-reference to the accompanying text book (itself a masterpiece of typography). This is an essential book for anyone inspired by colour and appreciative of great art.”-Ptolemy Mann, Selvedge For the first time since its original debut, the book has been restored to its former glory-beautifully printed colour plates on lustrous warm white paper. It is an excellent read and beautiful to look at. “It’s important to celebrate and note that this book is a series of fabulous colour exercises. “Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color stands alone among color theory books: a classic that never fails to surprise with its continued relevance.”- Imprint “The magnificent presentation of this edition will continue to make this book indispensable to the next generation of art students and teachers alike.”-Douglas F. If you know anybody who loves color, or art, or ever took a color class at art school, or just has bibliophilic tendencies, they will remember you fondly forever if you give it to them.”-Felix Salmon, Reuters Published in association with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation This celebration of Albers’s legendary achievements is an essential addition to any serious art library.

Also included for the first time are studies from the Albers archive, produced by the artist’s students in the early 1960s. It replicates Albers’s revolutionary exercises, explaining concepts such as color relativity and vibrating and vanishing boundaries through the use of color, shape, die-cut forms, and movable flaps that illustrate his astonishing demonstrations of the changing and relative nature of color. This beautiful edition brings Interaction back into classrooms and studios and onto bookshelves, where it will find an eager new audience. Originally issued in 1963 as a limited-edition set of commentary and 150 silkscreened color plates, the book introduced generations of students, artists, designers, and collectors to Albers’s unique approach to complex principles.

Josef Albers’s masterwork, Interaction of Color, is one of the most influential books on color ever published. “Absolutely stunning.”-Felix Salmon, Reuters A luxurious two-volume edition with the complete original plates, text, and commentary
