This group exhibition at Richard Saltoun Gallery New York brings together works by pioneering female textile artists featured in MoMA’s landmark 1969 survey Wall Hangings—Magdalena ABAKANOWICZ (1930–2017), Olga DE AMARAL (b. 1932), Jagoda BUIĆ (1930–2022), and Barbara LEVITTOUX-ŚWIDERSKA (1933–2019). Their monumental, powerful tapestries are presented alongside works by two younger fibre artists, Erin MANNING (b. 1969) and Anna PERACH (b. 1985), who continue to push the medium’s boundaries.
Unfolding across the gallery’s stand at TEFAF New York and its nearby Upper East Side location, Wall Hangings coincides with MoMA’s current exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction, (previously at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, Washington and the National Gallery of Canada), echoing the museum’s commitment to showcasing the radical potential and expansive breadth of fibre art from 1969 to today.
