The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City has an exciting exhibition – ‘Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction’. This show spans early-20th-century works by Sonia Delaunay, Hannah Hoch, and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, whose textile practices parallel their painting and drawing, mid-century works by Anni Albers and Ed Rossbach, and contemporary works by Rosemarie Trockel, Andrea Zittel, and Igshaan Adams.
“Highlighting issues of labour and identity that are intertwined with modern textile production, Woven Histories argues that weaving and textiles are the quintessential link between lived experience and art.”
If you cannot travel to New York, there are 80 images online from the exhibition.
The show runs until the 13th of September.
