Large 6-Foot Robert L. Kidd Wool Fiber Hanging Framed Wall Art 1970's

About the Item

This huge 6-foot, captivating abstract wall art is made with wool yarn, by Robert L. Kidd, circa 1970s. Handwoven bands of earth-tone fiber material coalesce into a modern, yet dramatic assemblage. Displayed in a walnut frame, the overall presentation is timeless. Classic 70's sensibilities with a timeless modern presentation. Displayed in the original walnut frame with heavy duty hanging wire. Robert Kidd Gallery was founded in 1976 by Robert Louis Kidd and Ray Frost Fleming, graduates of the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Owed to the curatorial vigor of Kidd and Fleming, the Robert Kidd Gallery achieved early notoriety through the caliber and consistency of its exhibitions, and a growing stable of prestigious artists with whom the gallery became affiliated. In the early 1980s, the gallery's exhibition and archive spaces were expanded by renowned architect Irving Tobocman, and fitted with custom gallery interiors by Kidd. The elegant modern designs conceived and constructed at the time of this collaboration remain in the two-level gallery on Townsend Street in downtown Birmingham, Michigan to this day. In addition to the works of emerging contemporary artists, the gallery roster became further distinguished by the works of numerous prominent modern masters including Milton Avery, Harry Bertoia, Helen Frankenthaler, Marshall Fredericks and Larry Rivers. The gallery's legacy of important exhibitions continued for several years after the founder’s deaths, under the direction of the gallery’s long-time staff.
