William Siegal Gallery offers a rare opportunity to appreciate art that spans 5,000 years across the Americas while inspiring a new collecting sensibility rooted in the unexpected dialogue between pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles and countless works of 20th century Modernism.
Upon entering the light filled gallery one might easily mistake the warm geometric images on the walls for post-war abstract paintings, but closer observation reveals intricate textiles done by ancient master weavers that have survived the centuries - amazingly well preserved in the Atacama desert.
Collectors of both textiles and contemporary art will find a common interest in these incredible images that hold both intrinsic historic human value and sophisticated timeless artistic design.
