    A reference book on artist Olga de Amaral. Gathering around a hundred works as well as many archive photographs, it retraces the evolution of her practice over time and the major role she played in the revolution of Fiber Art. >Amaral's hand-woven works combine natural fibers, paint, plaster, and precious metals, and reflect her interest in architecture and geometry. While her early works featured geometric motifs and bright colors, those of the 1970s marked the start of her research on three-dimensionality with works that free themselves from the wall to invade space. She then returned to a more human and intimate scale, with colors inspired by Colombian landscapes.From October 2024 to March 2025, the Fondation Cartier unveils the full richness and power of Amaral's art in her first major retrospective in Europe. Bringing together historical works never presented outside Colombia, as well as contemporary pieces with vibrant shapes and colors, the exhibition highlights the artist's career-long experimentation with materials, scale, and three-dimensionality.Contributions from Ann Coxon, Curator of International Art at Tate Modern and textile art specialist, María Wills Londoño, curator at the Banco de la República, Bogotá, and Marie Perennès, curator of the exhibition, tell the story of Olga de Amaral, contextualize her work within the local and international textile art scene, and analyze the themes that run through her art.

    Tate Modern curator of international art Ann Coxon presents a captivating visual exploration of Motherhood, as seen through the eyes of artists over the last 150 years. Depictions of motherhood are ever present in Western art, yet are rarely questioned or challenged. Perhaps we may shy away from a subject that could be seen as sentimental or overly associated with idealistic constructs of femininity, nurture, and care. Whether we are mothers ourselves or we bring—or nurture—life in a wider sense, we all have some understanding of motherhood. We are all born of a woman’s body. We are formed from the messy, challenging, self-denying, and transformative experiences of motherhood. Giving birth to their creations, artists have represented this vital and complex subject in a variety of ways, offering insight into what motherhood might mean—its joys and challenges—and seeking to articulate its unspoken aspects. This beautiful gift book delves into the subject of motherhood as seen through the eyes of artists—including Louise Bourgeois, Frida Kahlo, Dorothea Tanning, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Eileen Agar, and René Magritte—providing a fresh insight into maternity as a subject in art history and revealing the ways in which it has been confronted and reimagined in the last 150 years. Featuring 50 color artworks in a variety of media, this book is a celebration of motherhood in all its complexity.
