No, this isn't an offer of a free duplicate to share! :-) We're trying to figure out how to protect yet provide access to the original edition of Albers' classic color study (Yale, 1963). We've discovered that the set is now selling for upwards of $6,000. One vendor is selling one folder from the set for $1,000. We're already missing a few plates. One faculty member has asked to use the set in the classroom this semester for a color class. Even using it for in-library consultation is problematic because we don't have a secure special collections type reading room. Transfering it to our special collections library would severely limit access by studio artists, let alone his color class. Any ideas or strategies to share??? I can compile responses and share with the group if there is interest.
