Each of these three prints was published in commemoration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and were commissioned by the museum. The quotations that appear at the bottom of each were drawn from Albers's Search versus Re-Search (1969) lecture series and were included at the suggestion of the museum's director, Thomas Hoving.
