This exhibition is currently on view in the Asheville Art Museum (Gallery 6) through Sunday, March 11, 2012.

Josef Albers’s mid-century series entitled Homage to the Square consisted of hundreds of works that experimented with viewers’ color and spatial perceptions. Drawn primarily from the Museum’s Permanent Collection, Homage2 highlights artists who have taken up the challenge of the square, exploring its limitations and possibilities in unique ways and often furthering Albers’s intentions through their use of color and geometric space.

This exhibition features several of Josef Albers’s former students, including Richard Anuszkiewicz and Jack Tworkov, as well as more contemporary artists such as Sally Gall, Sol LeWitt, Kenneth Noland and Donald Sultan.  Homage2 furthers our exploration and understanding of the legacy of Black Mountain College, an important focus of the Museum’s Permanent Collection. 

Homage2 was organized and curated by the Asheville Art Museum with support from Nancy Holmes.
