1975

About the Item

Exotica Series, Abstract Woven Tapestry, Textile Sculpture. Cotton, goat hair and sisal, 114" x 60" x 6", 1975. Ritzi Jacobi (1941 - 2022) and Peter Jacobi (1935) Ritzi and Peter Jacobi collaborated on textile works for 15 years, from 1967 to 1984. “…[A]bstraction became their dominant mode of expression in series that spanned the 1970s: Transylvania, Romanica, Germanic, and Exotica….[T]hese non-representational ‘textile reliefs’ were mounted on the wall instead of being placed on the floor. By workingin relief instead of in the round, the Jacobis explored issues of space and volume while maintaining a productive dialogue with traditional modes…” Sarah Parrish, “Artists: Ritzi Jacobi/Peter Jacobi,” Fiber: Sculpture 1960-Present Jenelle Porter, editor, page 206 (Del Monico/Prestel, Munich, London, New York, 2014). Ritzi Jacobi: "In general my approach to fiber working has always been defined by subordination of material in favor of expression and gesture, revealing the qualities of darkness and lightness, transparency, density, tension and tactility. To a high degree, complexity of surface and structure is a result of method of operation – by summarizing cable elements in various techniques the single particles generate a vivid, pulsating pattern."
