Description:
This exhibit features modernist scarves produced by the famous Ascher studio in post WWII London and now part of the Jill A. Wiltse and H. Kirk Brown III Collection. Organized and curated by guest curator, Shanna Shelby, the three foot square scarves were printed in limited editions of two to six hundred each and the screens were destroyed after printing.
The scarves are an extraordinary combination of fine art, fashion, and printmaking. The Aschers collaborated with the artists and printers to produce a fascinating yet difficult translation into fabric.
The Center is open Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.m, and Saturday, from noon to 4 p.m.
