Herman Scholten – space and textiles
Mondriaanhuis, Amersfoort
8 June – 26 September 2010
The exhibition gives a compact overview of the work of textile artist Herman Scholten (1932) and is a tribute to this innovative weaver. The spatial effects of a flat surface, which is actually a wall-rug or floor-carpet, are the key focus of his work: a third dimension is revealed. In his artistic concepts, it is not only the expressive quality of the weaving and the material that are important – equally important are the composition and the presentation.
The following are on display from the Textile Museum’s collection:
Herman Scholten, “Spiegel” (“Mirror”), 1967, BK0597
Herman Scholten, “Werk in uitvoering” (Work in Progress”), 1964, BK0598
Herman Scholten, “Zee” (“Sea”), 1963, BK0790a
Herman Scholten, “Geel blok” {“Yellow Block”), 1985, BK0947a
