Description
Woven Histories: A Rich Exploration of Textiles and Modern Abstraction This richly illustrated volume offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles as a major force in the evolution of abstraction. Curated by Lynne Cooke, it brings together over fifty creators whose work crosses divisions between fine arts and applied arts. The book begins in the early twentieth century, tracing the abstract art of Sophie Taeuber-Arp to its roots in applied arts and handicrafts. It then features the interdisciplinary practices of artists such as Anni Albers, Sonia Delaunay, Liubov Popova, Varvara Stepanova, and others who sought to effect social change through fabrics for furnishings and apparel. Including essays by distinguished art historians and reflections from contemporary artists, Woven Histories explores the intertwined histories of textiles and abstraction, tracing how these disciplines have shaped our understanding of urgent issues in the modern world.
