Villa e Collezione Panza, Varese:
"Josef Albers. Meditations"
until January 10, 2027
The exhibition "Josef Albers. Meditations" brings together twentynine rarely seen masterpieces from Albers’ Variant/Adobe and Homage to the Square series in a lean and spacious arrangement that gives an unprecedented sense of the poetry and alchemy of these paintings. Presented by the FAI - Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano ETS and the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, the works in Meditations have been meticulously selected from public and private collections across Europe and the United States, in a way that reveals Albers’ particular magic as never before.
Invited by Gabriella Belli, curator of scientific programming at Villa e Collezione Panza, Nicholas Fox Weber, curator of Josef Albers. Meditations and Executive Director of the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, was guided by the fundamental Albersian idea that artworks and objects of original vision and fine craftsmanship, regardless of the time or place in which they were created, can be enriched by their confluence. The result is an original and evocative installation, capable of offering a renewed perspective on Albers’s practice, one that is essential, rarefied, and contemplative, much like the spirit that has always guided the research of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo, and which continues to shape the experience of visiting Villa and the Panza Collection today.
