The works were gathered from around the world and reflected a pronounced interest in architecture-related art and design of the postwar modern period.

The free-form wall relief consists of layered yarns and beads, arranged in a relief-like manner to create an organically flowing, almost topographical structure. The color-graded lines lend the object a sculptural depth and a strong spatial presence.

The artist is likely from Germany; the formal language is inspired by the international Fiber Art movement of the 1970s and shows parallels to the work of Romeo Reyna. See less
