Anni Albers

Line Involvements I
1964

A monochromatic artwork featuring a series of looping and curving lines that resemble a continuous thread or string, set against a dark brown background with a textured appearance. The lines are highlighted with a lighter outline, giving the impression of a three-dimensional form on the flat surface. The piece is bordered by a white margin where artist's signatures or marks may be present.
