The Bard Graduate Center Gallery has opened Knoll Textiles, 1945-2010, a new exhibition focusing on the fabrics and individuals that have helped shape KnollTextiles through the decades. The exhibit will be on display through July 31.
The exhibit features nearly 200 examples of textiles, furniture, photographs and ephemera, including Fibra, a linear pattern that Esther Haraszty, the head of KnollTextiles from 1950 to 1955, had based on parts of a loom, as well as more contemporary designs such as the, eco-friendly and scientifically based fabrics by Suzanne Tick.
KnollTextiles Creative Director, Dorothy Cosonas, who designs most of the fabrics for KnollTextiles, considers the exhibition to be a "one-in-a-lifetime event for people who are interested in color, texture and patterns."
Every Thursday during the run of the exhibition, architects, designers, and college, university, and museum professionals will receive complimentary admission. For more information, e-mail programs@bgc.bard.edu or call 212-501-3011.
