In 1963, the German-American artist Josef Albers turned 75, and he had quite a year. Where many men his age might have thought of slowing down, Albers set to work with renewed vigour. In March, his huge Formica mural, Manhattan – now alas destroyed – was unveiled in the lobby of Walter Gropius’s new Pan Am Building in New York. In June, on the birthday of his wife, Anni, Albers’s great work of scholarship, Interaction of Colour, was published. In that year, too, he painted this work, Study for Homage to the Square: New Garland.
