Ives-Sillman, Inc.

Ives-Sillman, Inc. was one of few publishers to produce silkscreen prints and photographs in monographic portfolios. Over two decades, 1958 until Ives’s death in 1978, Norman Ives and Sewell Sillman were collaborators with some of the most important artists of their time. In the late 1950s, Norman Ives and Sewell Sillman established a partnership, Ives-Sillman, Inc. In 1962 Ives-Sillman published a portfolio of ten Josef Albers’s silkscreen prints titled Homage to the Square. Because of its success, a second portfolio, Homage to the Square: Soft Edge–Hard Edge, followed. By 1966 they published Ten Variants, a third portfolio based on Albers’s earlier paintings. Another Albers’s collection, Six Variants, was issued three years later.

Josef Albers: Formulation:Articulation

Josef Albers Formulation:Articulation was published in 1972 in collaboration with the art book publisher Harry Abrams. Like Interaction of Color, it was an immense undertaking. The two-part portfolio, edition of 1,000, with sixty-seven double-spread pages, featured the best of Albers’s work over a forty-year period. It is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, SFMOMA, the British Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum.
