About the Item
Stunning Modernist Abstract Ecuadorian Tapestry / wall hanging designed by Olga Fisch....
Of Hungarian origin, Olga Fisch (1901-1991) emigrated in 1933, first to Morocco and in 1939 to Ecuador, ahead of the political instability wracking Europe.
Already an artist and collector of folk art, Fisch quickly took to the local arts and crafts available
in the Quito markets. Folk and Paleolithic cave art and
established a workshop creating knotted pile carpets, weavings, wall hangings, to her individualistic and unique designs.
The firm continues today, as does the museum of (primarily) Ecuadorian folk art. Only domestic
sheep wool is employed and the rugs are firmly symmetrically (Turkish) knotted on a cotton
foundation at a density of 60,000 knots per square meter or about 40 knots per square inch.
