By the 1960s, Josef Albers was recognized worldwide as a color theorist, painter and teacher. In 1963, Anni accompanied him to the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles, where he had a fellowship. She took up printmaking for the first time. Her goal from the start was to use printmaking techniques to achieve results available through no other means. At the same time, Albers maintained her lifelong interest in abstract compositions that were orderly but mysterious, balanced but asymmetrical.
