Though our time in the cities we visited on our cross-country tour was short, we managed to hit a couple of wonderful, yet very different museums along the way. In Tulsa, we spent a few hours exploring the Philbrook Museum of Art.

My Jacksonville readers will be familiar with the Cummer Museum of Art in Jax. The Philbrook is, to me, like the Cummer on steroids. Like the Cummer, the Philbrook was once a private residence, which was donated to the city of Tulsa by its owners, oilman Waite Phillips and his wife Genevieve.

This practice inspired his own work, resulting in the long-running series of paintings and silkscreens, which he continued after taking over the Department of Design at Yale, and after retiring from teaching in 1958.
First published in a portfolio of 12 in 1967, in 1972 Albers included this print in Formulation: Articulation, a series of prints which he felt encapsulated the entirety of his career. Despite his advanced age (he turned 84 in 1972), Albers supervised the printing at Ives-Sillman, wh
