Por recomendación de Philip Johnson, del Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York, los organizadores del Black Mountain College, una escuela experimental de Carolina del Norte, ofrecieron a Josef Albers refugiarse de la Alemania nazi para dirigir el plan de estudios de arte en Black Mountain.

La escuela cerró bajo la presión del régimen nazi en agosto de 1933, y los Albers llegaron a Carolina del Norte ese otoño.
