"The highly individual character of flatweaves is intimately
connected with their production: the materials used for the warps and
wefts, the way the yarn is spun, the choice of dye colors, the structural
make-up and the method of finish. The wide variety of materials, techniques
and colorings has evolved and developed in response to resources, practical
needs and tribal influences." Alastair Hull and José Luczyc-Wyhowska
The Gage Family Art Gallery is pleased to present an
exhibition of kilim rugs from National collections. This exhibition will
explore the ancient weaving traditions in flatwoven rugs from Persia,
Turkey, and the Caucasus' region. The variety of weaving techniques, colors,
designs, and materials found within these kilim rugs provide dramatic
examples of textile art. |
