Woven histories: textiles and modern abstraction

Uittreksel

"Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles--particularly weaving--as a major force in the evolution of modern abstraction. This richly illustrated volume features more than fifty creators whose work crosses divisions and hierarchies formerly segregating the fine arts from the applied arts and handicrafts. The sweeping discusion begins in the early twentieth century as Sophie Taeuber-Arp translates the abstract aesthetic informing her handicrafts to her fine art practice, then continues with the interdisciplinary practices of Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, and other pioneering women artists who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. From there it extends into the twenty-first century, as the intersection of textiles, dress, and abstraction engages artists as varied as Ed Rossbach, Kay Sekimachi, Ruth Asawa, Lenore Tawney, Sheila Hicks, Rosemarie Trockel, Ellen Lesperance, Jeffrey Gibson, Igshaan Adams, and Liz Collins. Their wide-ranging works continue to shape this discourse. Including groundbreaking essays by art historians and reflections from contemporary artists, this ambitious book reveals how artists have engaged these intertwined histories to probe questions regarding social justice, community and kinship, gender, and other urgent issues of our time."-- Provided by publisher.
