Hermès Publisher Silk Scarf
Josef Albers
Hommage au carré is a reproduction of 6 works on silk published in 200 copies each.
This limited edition edition of works of art on silk, of six of the hundreds that Josef Albers produced as part of one of the finest abstract painting endeavors of the twentieth century, is called Les Hommages au Carré.
Albers' principle is simple: on an immutable form (a square and its composition), infinitely multiply the chromatic variations while strictly respecting this form. Editing these six silk squares after Albers led Hermès to the limits of its own know-how: "frame printing", but above all, to this so-called "edge to edge" feat, when large masses of color touch each other without overlapping, and without the usual setting that "closes" the color.
This first edition is the beginning of a dream: that of forming links, of creating bridges, between the manufacturing world and the artistic world. 4
