$ 750HOMAGE TO THE SQUARE — GALERIE MELKI PARIS — JOSEF ALBERS — 1973
Original exhibition poster produced for Galerie Melki in Paris, featuring Josef Albers’ celebrated Homage to the Square series. This example is the yellow color variation, reflecting Albers’ exploration of color relationships through nested square forms.
Josef Albers (1888–1976), a key figure of the Bauhaus, was known for his rigorous approach to color and form. Through the Homage to the Square series, begun in 1950, Albers examined how colors interact and influence one another when placed in simple geometric arrangements. His work had a lasting impact on modern art and design, further reinforced by his influential publication Interaction of Color.
This poster was issued in conjunction with an exhibition at Galerie Melki and presents a clear example of Albers’ systematic investigation of color perception using minimal means.
