"Josef Albers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum"

By RAYMOND J. STEINER
ART TIMES May 1988

IF DIVERSIFICATION is often the undoing of a minor talent, this retrospective of Josef Albers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (March 25 thru May 29) shows how it can strengthen and eventually serve to focus the mature vision of a master.  The first major retrospective of Albers's work, this exhibition of about 250 pieces (covering his output from 1914 to 1976) allows for a long view of the man and his oeuvre. What we get here is the complex and arduous struggle which occupied Albers from roughly his 25th to his 60th year and which culminated in the deceptive simplicity of his Homage to the Square, a series of well over a thousand paintings executed during the final twenty-five years of his life and which earned him the epithet, "the square man."
