Knitting ART
150 Innovative Works
from 18 Contemporary Artists
by Karen Searle
|
In this colorful collection, the author profiles 18 contemporary knitters,
including herself, who create knitted objects for display as artworks.
From garments to freestanding sculpture, to gallery and outdoor installations,
these works have a bold presence, and in many cases, an overt political or
social message. Karen Searle provides an essay of about four pages for each artist,
and explains the development of the personal style and practices used by each.
Full page and half-page photographs of five or six works by each of the artists makes this book
particularly appealing. Because few readers are aware of this body of work, and
considering the book's inherently appealing subject and accessible presentation,
this is ideal for any serious knitting library or art book collection.
