At the risk of starting a firestorm, I am mentiioning a “tapestry” that was in ArtDaily today. A quote from the issue:
“Woven on a mechanical jacquard loom, each tapestry repeats four times the image of one quadrant of the painting.”
If you’re planning a trip to London this summer, you can see them here at the Gagosian Gallery.
In the eligibility requirements for entry on the ATA website, tapestry is defined: …tapestries (defined as “hand-woven, weft-faced fabric with discontinuous wefts”). So, what’s a weaver to do?
