Setting out to celebrate, document and discuss the work and role of
an international tapestry workshop, Dovecot Studios, since its
foundation in Edinburgh in 1912, this ground-breaking publication
uniquely explores the artistic value, nature and identity of modern
tapestry through images, essays and the commentaries of weavers,
artists and patrons. Dovecot Studios has constantly evolved since
it was established before the Great War. Initial Arts and Crafts
ideals developed into a more proactive engagement with modernism
from the 1950s, when designs came from leading British artists such
as Graham Sutherland, Henry Moore, Stanley Spencer, Cecil Beaton
and John Piper. In the 1960s international ambition partnered a
quest for experimentation, as characterised by collaborations with
artists such as Eduardo Paolozzi, David Hockney, Robert Motherwell
and Louise Nevelson. Throughout Dovecot's long history many
Scottish artists have worked with the tapestry studio, and their
intuitive sense of design and colour has often been richly matched
by the imagination of the artist weavers. Experiment and
partnership with innovative artists and makers have been, and
actively remain, key to Dovecot's unique position within the fields
of craft and contemporary art. Discussing Dovecot's history along
with its contemporary work, and exploring the range of textiles
produced by the Studio - which include wall hangings, chair-cover
designs, carpets, textile mobiles and formal robes - The Art of
Modern Tapestry offers the definitive account of one of the world's
most innovative centres of textile-art production.
