Macrogauze 3D No. 2, circa 1980
Natural linen with steel rods.
Height: 163 cm
Width: 98 cm
Provenance:
From the estate of the artist.
Peter Collingwood (1922-2008) was described as the pre-eminent British artist weaver; his technical and aesthetic innovations been appreciated across the globe.
His first 'Macrogauze' was created in 1964, combining steel & brass with linen threadwork. This first 'Macrogauze' generated an ongoing oeuvre in both 2D & 3D based around mathematical sequences.
Collingwood's work has been widely exhibited; the best known being 'Coper/Collingwood' at the V&A in 1969. Here his 'Marcogauzes' were shown alongside his fellow 'handworker' (c. Tanya Harrod "The Crafts in Britain in the Twentieth Century" Yale University Press) Hans Coper - Harrod describes their "pots and weavings....as (having) a coolly rational look and developed formal ideas in elegant sequences."
