Alberts was a student of the Cooper Union in New York City where he met his wife and fellow artist Olivia Koopalethes. The couple lived and worked together, travelling to Paris after the end of World War II where they studied under the tutelage of Fernand Leger and Andre L'hote from 1949-1952. They returned to NYC after the birth of their daughter and later settled in Alpine, New Jersey where both artists lived and painted through the remainder of their lives. See less
