Ark Panels at Temple Emanu-El
Ark Panels at Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, Texas, 1956
Bauhaus-trained textile designer Anni Albers, wife of artist Josef Albers, created eight 20-foot tall ark coverings for Temple Emanu-El that slide open to reveal Torah scrolls. The panels’ green, blue, and gold color scheme is taken from the sanctuary’s stained-glass windows designed by Hungarian sculptor György Kepes.
