21世紀を代表するドイツ人テキスタイルアーティストであり版画家のアニ・アルバース（Anni Albers）による作品集。織物という芸術とその歴史、道具と技術、現代のデザインに及ぼす影響ついて豊富な図版で分かりやすく解説した一冊であり、初版は1965年発行されている。手織りから機械織りへの推移を解き明かし、素材を意識することや、デザイン上の問題を実際の作業を通じて解決する際に起きる創造的なひらめきの重要性を強調する。 素材と手織り機に注目した作者は、技術と大量生産がいかにして創造力や問題解決の足かせとなっているか議論し、今日特に重視されている人間の独創性に今一度立ち返ろうと主張する。明快で魅力溢れる文章と共に、手描きの図からコロンブス以前の織物のクローズアップ、とうもろこし、紙、タイプライターを使った素材の研究、さらにはこうした議論の理解を助ける自身の作品に至るまで、織物の歴史を物語る貴重な素晴らしいイメージをふんだんに取り入れている。 初版の刊行から60年近くの月日が流れたことを受けて、原書のモノクロの挿絵にフルカラーの写真、ジョゼフ・アンド・アニー・アルバース財団のディレクターであるニコラス・フォックス・ウェーバー（Nicholas Fox Weber）による序文、作者とそのキャリアに関する批判的考察を提示するキュレーターのマヌエル・シラウキ（Manuel Cirauqui）と美術史家であるタイ・スミス（T’ai Smith）によるエッセイを追加し、現代の新たな読者のために内容をアップデートした拡張版として仕上がっている。
（twelvebooksによる本書紹介文）
Written by one of the twentieth century’s leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand. With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work. Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book’s original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T’ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.

Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right. Featured works—from her early activity at the Bauhaus as well as from her time at Black Mountain College, and spanning her entire fruitful career—include wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewelry, and prints. Essays by international experts focus on key works and themes, relate aspects of Albers’s practice to her seminal texts On Designing and On Weaving, and identify broader contextual material, including examples of the Andean textiles that Albers collected and in which she found inspiration for her understanding of woven thread as a form of language. Illuminating Albers’s skill as a weaver, her material awareness, and her deep understanding of art and design, this publication celebrates an artist of enormous importance and showcases the timeless nature of her creativity.
