"I have consistently found Albers's writings, in both On Weaving
and the already re-released Selected Writings on Design (Wesleyan
University Press, 2001), to be eye-opening on a range of topics.
Materiality, tactility, nonverbal language, the histories of both
handcraft and factory production -- Albers provides clear and
rigorous analysis of these and other issues throughout her
books."--Becky Peterson, HYPERALLERGIC
"The weavings of Anni Albers have bridged the gap between craft and
art. They stand on their own as complete and thoughtful statements
of her approach to life and to design."--Cecil Lubell, former
Executive Editor of American Fabrics Magazine

""Anni Albers brings an extraordinary order to weaving. She
distinguishes 'useful' weaving (the worn, walked-on, and sat-upon)
from the 'useless' (the pictorial), but in her hands both share the
virtue of being unique as works of art. Masterful with the hand
loom, Anni Albers exerts a similar mastery over the machine in so
ordering her design that the machine also produces a work of
art.""--Paul Schweikher, former Head of the Department of
Architecture, Carnegie Institute of Technology
