Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstractions

Richly illustrated volume exploring the inseparable histories of modernist abstraction and twentieth-century textiles.
 
Published on the occasion of an exhibition curated by Lynne Cooke, Woven Histories offers a fresh and authoritative look at textiles—particularly weaving—as a major force in the evolution of 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. Hardcover, 288 pages.
