Description: The Anni and Joseph Albers collection of pre-Columbian art at Yale University's Peabody Museum spans a broad range of styles, time periods and materials. The collection includes examples from a various Mesoamerican cultures covering three millenia, from about 1500 B.C. to the fall of Tenochtitlan in 1521, which ended the Postclassic period. Among the objects are figurines, ceramic vessels, jade pendants and painted terra-cotta pieces. Anni and Joseph Albers left Germany in late 1933, after the Gestapo forced the closing of the Bauhaus, to teach at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. In 1935, during their first trip to Mexico, they purchased their first figurine. They were to return to Mexico thirteen times, becoming enthusiastic collectors at a time when few people shared their interest.
