One of 28 slides of prints c. 20th century

Editor: This is “One of 28 slides of prints” by Josef Albers. It feels so graphic and modern, almost like a logo. What do you see in this piece? Curator: This piece shows the artist's interest in the tools and processes of artistic creation. It's a slide, meant for mass dissemination. Is it a work of art, or merely a tool for displaying art? What does it tell us about the distribution of images and ideas? Editor: That's a great point. I hadn’t thought about it as part of a larger system of production. Curator: Exactly! It challenges our assumptions about the unique art object. Food for thought.
