Win a signed screenprint from Anni Albers!


The motive that drove Anni and Josef Albers to be active as art teachers for their whole lives was summarised by Josef in three words: 'to open eyes'.
Together, they encouraged young artists to open their eyes to the wonders around them: from nature to culture, from form to color.

We invite you to 'open your eyes' as well and share a personal observation with us of one work of art by either Josef or Anni Albers from the exhibition. The method is up to you: think about an essay, poem, dance, photo, or comic.

The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation will select a winner from all entries. The winner will receive a signed screenprint by Anni Albers.


Entry requirements:

  • Choose one artwork from the exhibition that touches you and share your observation. The method is up to you (think about an essay, poem, dance, photo, or comic strip).
  • It’s about your own personal observation – what do you see (so no jargon or art-historical interpretation).
  • Submissions are permitted in both Dutch and English.
  • You can submit until December 31st 2022 by emailing pressoffice@kunstmuseum.nl by including ‘Albers competition’ in the subject line.

The winner will be announced on Instagram on January 11th 2023. To make sure you’re kept up to date, follow our account on Instagram @kunstmuseum.nl.
