Pretty cool to find this--an original copy of a c. mid 1950s magazine feature on Joseph Albers and his teaching practice at Yale, with a series of two-color reproductions of work by Albers and students plus four black and white photos of Albers and students in class. Albers arrived at Yale 1950s from Black Mountain (and the Bauhaus prior to that) to head the graphic design program, and would publish his seminal Interaction of Color in 1963, with this article I believe landing more or less midway between. Funnily enough, the name of the magazine is printed nowhere on it, nor is there any byline or photo credits--and I've searched quite a bit and turned up no reference to it, including going through the bibliography section of the Albers Foundation website. So, a mystery to me, though I imagine a better researcher than me could readily place it.
Four pages of article across three leaves with some fun ads interspersed. Pages (oversized) measure 14" x 10 3/8". Very good condition, with very minor wear to top edges of paper as pictured.
