The Art of Rugs




Beyond Rugs! is the title of a new exhibition at the Farnsworth Museum, Rockland, ME, that is receiving international attention and the subject of a recent post on Art Knowledge News. A design by the innovative modernist, Marguerite Zorach, introduces selections of artists from throughout the country who set the pace today with hook and fiber. "Beyond Rugs! explores the way the traditional art of hooking is evolving. No longer destined for the floor, hooked rugs today may be wall hangings, sculpture, or components of mixed media."
