Organized in collaboration with The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, the show provides a far-reaching look at this underexplored facet of the artist’s practice. It features a wide selection of paintings, glassworks, drawings, and ephemera from throughout Albers’s career, including a number of the album covers he designed in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

David Zwirner presents a significant group of works by American artist Charles White (1918–1979). On view for the first time since the 1970s are four monumentally scaled ink and charcoal drawings made by the artist as studies for the figures in his mural Mary McLeod Bethune, completed in 1978 for the Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Regional Library in Exposition Park, Los Angeles, as well as related preparatory works and ephemera documenting the project—White’s last major artistic endeavor during his lifetime.
