Synopsis
Tapestry: A Woven Narrative is a review of contemporary tapestry design, discussing the progression from early designs to tapestry production today. The book looks in detail at the current tapestry scene, in which weavers and artists across the globe have begun appropriating the medium to present their work and ideas in a previously unexplored fashion, creating a fascinating juxtaposition between the socio-cultural documentation of many historical works and the more abstract, contemporary and personal themes often dealt with in tapestries today. The publication includes works from notable modern artists such as Annika Ekdahl, Chuck Close, Fred Tomaselli, Marta Rogoyska, Archie Brennan, RB Kitaj, Lynne Curran, and Tracey Emin. In addition, the publication also looks at the output of the Dovecot Studios, West Dean Tapestry Studio, and the Australian Tapestry Workshop, the three most eminent studios of their kind in the world. Tapestry: A Woven Narrative also discusses the practical aspects of tapestry production, taking in both historical methods and those employed by the few specialist tapestry houses flourishing in the world. With insightful original texts from experts in the field: curator Timothy Wilcox, noted academic Fiona Mathison and eminent weaver and West Dean Studio Director Caron Penney. Beautifully illustrated, Tapestry is a stunning and comprehensive exploration of this historical-but progressive-tradition.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. "Tapestry: A Woven Narrative" is a general introduction to the state of artisan tapestry weaving in the twenty-first century. Tapestry is considered by many to be a conservative, perhaps regressive textile medium, largely associated with the dense pictorial works of the Middle Ages, or the floral Mille-fleurs style works of fifteenth and sixteenth century France and Belgium. In reality, the medium is constantly developing, with contemporary artists creating more and more abstract and progressive works, whether within the traditional 'gobelin' style of pictorial artisan weaving, the controversial jacquard style of mechanical tapestry production, or other more unconventional approaches to textile creation. All of these are exemplified in "Tapestry: A Woven Narrative's" rich visual approach to the medium. This copy is in very good condition with minimal markings to the cover.

Hardcover. Etat : New. Tapestry: A Woven Narrative initially focuses on European tapestry and features significant historical images derived from extensive international tapestry collections. The book addresses the developing status of historical factory houses, the differing roles of tapestry artists and manufacturers, discusses how these roles have changed over time and looks in further detail at the socio-historical context of the featured works.The book also looks in detail at the current tapestry scene, beginning in earnest with the textile work of Henry Moore 20 years ago. Now, established artists across the globe, significantly in North America, Australia and New Zealand, have begun appropriating the medium to present their work and ideas in a previously unexplored fashion, creating a fascinating juxtaposition between the socio-cultural documentation of many historical works and the more abstract, modern and personal themes often dealt with in tapestries today. The book includes works from notable modern artists such as Annika Ekdahl, Chuck Close, Fred Tomaselli, Grayson Perry, Francesca Lowe, Jaime Gili, Henry Moore, KB Kitaj and Kara Walker.Tapestry: A Woven Narrative also discusses the practical aspects of tapestry production, taking in both historical methods and those employed by the few specialist tapestry houses flourishing in the world.
