Josef Albers, zur Verleihung des Conrad von Soest Preises : Ausstellung im Landesmuseum Münster, Text by Anton Henze, Landesmuseum, Münster, 1959 [Exhibition: January 10 – February 7, 1959] [Josef Albers papers, 1929-1970, Box 1, Folder 30: Exhibition Announcements and Catalogs, 1958-1959, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.]

The 1913 riotous premiere of Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” is pretty well known in classical music history. Sandwiching the premiere of his masterpiece of modernism between well known conservative chestnuts such as “Les Sylphides” (an orchestration by Alexander Glazunov of piano music by Chopin, 1907-9) which opened the concert along…
