Modestly sized but expansive in scope, the exhibit Taking A Thread For A Walk in the newly revamped and enlarged Museum of Modern Art in New York explores the often overlooked art of weaving.
With a nod to weaving in ancient times and at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, it goes on to tell how a small group of artists, some of them women sidelined by the more famous men in the Bauhaus movement, pushed the age-old craft in new directions. It developed a more sculptural approach, known since the 1960s as fiber arts, even as it continued to evolve as an industrial art.
