(inv.1964.1082)Note : Clair Zeisler (1903-1991) was a noted American fiber artist based in
Chicago. She is credited with shifting the two-dimensional craft of
weaving into the realm of sculpture. She began collecting art in the
1930's, acquiring paintings by Picasso, Miro and Klee, and, later, works
by prominent Post-War American artists, Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg
and Jenny Holzer, for instance. Even from her earliest collecting days,
she collected so-called 'primitive' art, among them African sculptures,
tantric art, Peruvian textiles and American Indian baskets. These works
were the most relevant to her artistry, and in this excellent Salampasu
the association of craft and quality are clear. See Art Institute of
Chicago, for the iconic Montol figure gifted by Zeisler (1972.173).Christie's, banditore, Paris, FR
