| Weaver, born in Berlin, Germany. She studied her craft at the Bauhaus (1922–9), where she married painter Josef Albers, and where she later taught (1930–3). The couple moved to the USA (1933), where she became a professor at Black Mountain College (1933–49) and later pursued a career as an independent artisan in New Haven, CT. One of the most influential weavers of her time, she advanced a theoretical approach to textile design through her teaching and writing. |
