Lillian Holm
(Sweden, 1896-1979)

a tapestry, flat weave, ca 180,5 x 82 cm, signed LH. With the frame ca 182x79 cm.

A modern polychrome composition. Mounted on a frame. This work is close to the "Untitled Tapestry" owned by the Cultural Properties Collection, Cranbrook Schools. About the work "Untitled Tapestry" it says on Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research's website: "Lillian Holm, Kingswood School Cranbrook's first full-time weaving instructor, headed Kingswood's Arts and Crafts department for over thirty years while also serving, for shorter periods, as a weaving instructor at both Cranbrook Academy of Art and the Flint Institute of Arts and a weaver with Studio Loja Saarinen. At the time of her retirement from Kingswood in 1965, Holm received the Founders Medal from the Cranbrook Foundation.This untitled tapestry, among her finest, depicts a skyscraper rising high in the middle of an urban canyon — an abstraction of the energy and vitality of American cities."

Some wear, slightly dirty. Several damages along the sides and ends.
