Anni Albers (1899-1994) is considered the most important textile artists of the 20th century. Known for her wall hangings, weavings, and designs, she was also an innovative educator and printmaker.

Anni Albers: "In Thread and On Paper" highlights how nimbly Albers moved between mediums - including her shift from weaving to printmaking in the 1960s - and transitioned between making art and designing functional and commercial objects.

The exhibit will be on view through June 30.
