Anni Albers originally wanted to be a painter, but it was at the loom where she found artistic freedom at the Bauhaus. In her work she primarily explored abstraction.

Berger was acting head of Weaving after Gunta Stölzl left. She later opened her own “Textile Studio” but being Jewish she was soon banned from practising her trade. Otti Berger died in Auschwitz in 1944.
