Olga de Amaral

Surveying over five decades of shimmering, gold leaf-coated tapestries from an underappreciated master of textile art

Colombian artist Olga de Amaral (born 1932) makes large-scale textiles and woven walls of fabric that incorporate the use of gold and silver leaf, evoking gilded churches and byzantine mosaics. This volume accompanies her inaugural exhibition at Lisson Gallery, showcasing a selection of her works since the 1960s.
