This work is to be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work being prepared by the Anni and Josef Albers Foundation.
"The word variety, although recently a favored design term, has become discredited because of increased abuse...To replace this negative criterion, we are in favor of a related word of better reputation, the design term 'variant.' As variety usually concerns changes of details, variant means a more thorough re-doing of a whole of a part within a given scheme...On the whole, variants demonstrate, besides a sincere attitude, a healthy belief that there is no final solution in form; thus form demands unending performance and invites constant reconsideration--visually as well as verbally" (J. Albers, Interaction of Color, New Haven, 1963, p. 74).
