The sheer variety of work produced by more than 50 artists chosen by the book’s editor, Lynne Cooke, will knock your socks off. (Just wait till you see what’s happening in the field of basketry alone.) So will the visual imaginations of individual geniuses we already know like Anni Albers, Ruth Asawa, Gego, Lenore Tawney and Sheila Hicks, and the others we’re introduced to here."" * New York Times, on ""Best Art Books of 2023"" * ""In centering weaving—thread, fiber, and cloth—Woven Histories differently tracks adaptations from within the frame of its traditions."" * Brooklyn Rail * ""Placing textiles — and centrally weaving — at the heart of modern abstract art, Cooke selected from the work of around fifty textile artists. She also invited five art critics to respond to the thorny issues raised when weaving and abstract art are linked. Most powerfully, six contemporary fiber artists were asked to draw on their creative perspectives to comment on the works of other fiber artists in the show. . . . Cooke’s majestic compendium of woven artists contains over one hundred finely reproduced illustrations."" * Arts Fuse *" Author InformationLynne Cooke is senior curator of special projects in modern art at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
