The exhibition at Zander Galerie presents a dialogue between the works of American photographer Robert Adams and artist Josef Albers, exploring their shared focus on form and light. Adams, known for his critical perspective on the ecological impact of urban sprawl in the American West, captures the interplay of light in his photographs, emphasizing its role as the source of all form. Albers, through his Homage to the Square series, investigates the effects of color relationships, creating a visual language rooted in light. The exhibition features 70 photographs by Adams from major work groups since the 1960s, alongside twelve paintings by Albers. Curated by Heinz Liesbrock, former director of the Josef Albers Museum, the exhibition highlights the mutual illumination of Adams' and Albers' works, transcending traditional artistic categories. A catalogue published by Steidl Verlag accompanies the exhibition, offering essays and reproductions that further explore the connection between these two influential artists.
