Anni Albers (1899-1994) is held in high regard as one of the most paramount textile designers of the 20th century. Albers attended the Bauhaus in 1922 and begrudgingly participated in the weaving workshop as it was the only one available to women at that time. By 1931, Albers had received a diploma for innovative work and stepped into the role as head of the weaving workshop, a rare occurrence for a woman at the school. When the Bauhaus closed in 1933, Albers accepted an invitation to teach at North Carolina’s Black Mountain College. She stayed on as an assistant professor at Black Mountain College until 1949 where she was known for her experimental approaches to materials and processes.  
Albers broke new ground within the world of weaving and graphic design, taking printmaking techniques into uncharted territory. In 1949 she was the first textile designer to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and spent the remainder of her life making and showing art. Despite her prolific artmaking, Albers left behind very little evidence of her working process aside from one unassuming notebook dating to the latter part of her life.  
Anni Albers: Notebook 1970-1980 is a delightful glimpse into the mind of Albers. A facsimile of her simple composition notebook, the publication is replete with spontaneous works and preliminary ideas sketched out in pencil and occasionally red ink. Most works are dated, and a few have titles corresponding to subsequent prints and printed textiles. This is the only known notebook of Albers and a joyous wellspring of inspiration for any textile artist or designer.  
Anni Albers: Notebook 1970-1980 was published in 2017 by David Zwirner Books out of New York.

Louise Bourgeois
Pages from from the illustrated book, Ode à l'Oubli, 2002
This editioned fabric volume is modeled after a unique book she made in 2002 using textiles she had saved throughout her life, including scraps of nightgowns, scarves, and hand towels from her wedding trousseau, monogrammed with her initials. Bourgeois spent her childhood around fabric—her family had a tapestry restoration business—and she has used the material for years in sculptures and as the support for prints and drawings.

Went to a frankly astounding estate sale hoping for pots and pans. Got none, but did get several small baskets, an oversized green metal mug, a collection of old recipe clippings in a vintage Bisquick tin, and a framed print of the above Wyeth painting.

This simply structured and highly original book analyzes the palettes used by designers in the creation of furnishing fabrics and wallpapers from the 15th century to the present day. The colors used in each pattern are presented in a simple proportional grid, giving a clear understanding of hues that have been expertly combined at different periods to create the designs we continue to admire and emulate.
Spectrum opens with a brief introduction by interior design expert Ros Byam Shaw, exploring the history of color as used in interiors. Arranged chronologically, fabrics and wallpapers are reproduced on double-page spreads, accompanied by brief, narrative-style captions that provide details about their significance in the context of interior design. Unique in such a book are the color grids shown beside each pattern, including CMYK references that allow designers to replicate these colors in their own work.

Motifs d'Artistes
Une histoire du design dans l’industrie textile depuis le 18e siècle
Silvana Editoriale, Cinisello Balsamo 2023, 96 pagine, 20x20cm, brossura, Francese, ISBN 9788836655403
euro 20,00
email if you want to buy : [email protected]
L’exposition « Motifs d’artistes, une histoire du design dans l’industrie textile depuis le 18e siècle » revient sur l’origine du métier de designer textile et le rôle des artistes dans la création de motifs. Depuis les dessinateurs employés par les manufactures de soieries et d’indiennes, jusqu’à l’apparition des designers textiles, l’exposition questionne la diversité́ de leur statut et l’évolution de la reconnaissance de leur art. En s’adaptant aux contraintes techniques propres à ce domaine, ces inventeurs de formes ont donné naissance à de véritables ornements, reflets de leur univers artistique, des tendances et des pratiques de consommation de leur temps. Ainsi, Jean-Baptiste Huet, William Morris, Raoul Dufy ou encore Sonia Delaunay ont laissé une empreinte indélébile dans le répertoire des arts décoratifs.
