Ed Rossbach
Warp Ikat Spiral, Mid-Century Abstract Woven Tapestry, Textile Wall Sculpture

1962

About the Item

Warp Ikat Spiral, weaving, 36"x108", 1962. This mid-century geometric abstract tapestry was done by American textile artist, Ed Rossbach (1914-2002, Chicago, US). His career began in with ceramics and weaving in the 1940s, but evolved over the next decade into basket making. He is best known for his innovative and playful baskets made from nontraditional materials such as plastic and newspaper. Artist Statement: “Well, I love all this mixture of things that people might interpret in various ways that I didn’t intend...I think it’s sort of amusing to have people misunderstand things and take things seriously that you mean not to be serious. Of course I don’t persuade myself that people think much about these things at all; I think they just sort of pass before their eyes. Maybe somebody will think a little bit about it, but I don’t think anybody is very concerned about what the meaning is of what I’m doing. I think it’s very unusual for people to look seriously at what someone else is offering as a work of art. You’re very much doing it for yourself. And I suppose that’s the essence of what I’m doing…."
