{"product_id":"grid-mounted-josef-albers","title":"Grid Mounted - Josef Albers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA geometric construction by Josef Albers, featuring salvaged glass fragments arranged within a wire grid, created during his Bauhaus period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrid Mounted is a construction from the early period of Josef Albers, dating to his time at the Bauhaus in Weimar. The work consists of a collection of glass fragments, salvaged from various sources, arranged within a rigid wire grid. This assembly reflects the Bauhaus interest in the transformation of discarded industrial materials into structured aesthetic objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is defined by a strict orthogonal framework. Within each cell of the wire mesh, Albers placed a distinct piece of glass. These fragments vary in colour, opacity, and texture, ranging from clear and translucent panes to opaque, metallic, and reflective surfaces. The arrangement does not follow a discernible pattern, yet the overall effect is one of controlled order. By housing these disparate elements within a uniform grid, Albers forces a comparison between the individual qualities of each glass shard and the collective structure of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece demonstrates the artist's early preoccupation with the interaction of colour and material. While later works by Albers often focused on the optical effects of paint on canvas, Grid Mounted reveals his initial engagement with physical objects and light. The glass acts as a filter, catching and refracting light in ways that change depending on the viewer's position. The dark, heavy wire frame provides a stark contrast to the varied tones of the glass, grounding the composition and emphasising the modular nature of the design. It is a study in material economy and the potential for beauty within industrial detritus, characteristic of the experimental atmosphere of the Bauhaus workshops during the early 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/composition-269-werner-drewes-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eComposition 269 by Werner Drewes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/eight-colour-groups-max-bill\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEight Colour Groups by Max Bill\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Josef Albers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139308716367,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139316646223,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139316678991,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139316711759,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139316744527,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139316777295,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139316810063,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139316842831,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139316875599,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139316908367,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139316941135,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139316973903,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Grid-Mounted_Poster_CompositorV1_1792122299255.jpg?v=1792208273","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/grid-mounted-josef-albers","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
