Museum of Modern Art, New York : 
The Museum of Modern Art owns a large collection - more than 50 items - of fabric samples, dating from the Bauhaus period to the 1960s.

In 1990 the curator of the exhibition “Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers” at the Moma, Matilda McQuaid wrote:
“The textile designs of Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers are creative experiments in material, structure and color. Rejecting a nineteenth-century tradition of cloth-making that emphasized pictorial imagery, Stölzl and Albers altered the course of twentieth-century weaving by introducing new fibers and finishes and by revealing the fundamental woven structure, or the warp and weft, of the cloth. ...."
