About the Item

Large Fiber Art Wall Sculpture by Barbara Barron, Signed, Huntington, NY, A visually arresting and richly textured fiber art wall sculpture by Barbara Barron, signed on a hand-engraved bronze tag reading "Barbara Barron, Huntington, New York." This substantial piece—measuring 48 inches wide by 63 inches high—exemplifies the bold, sculptural direction of the American fiber art movement of the later 20th century. Thirty elongated, brush-like elements are suspended from a dark bronze or iron rod, forming a rhythmic curtain of organic forms. Each fiber “strand” is meticulously hand-wrapped in richly hued threads—ranging from crimson, plum, and lavender to pale blush and ivory—and punctuated by voluminous bundles of natural, cream-colored fibers that evoke ritual tassels, sheaves, or seed pods. The contrast between the structured verticality of the wrapped cords and the wild, tactile softness of the fiber ends gives the work both dynamism and serenity. Barron’s work reflects the postmodern embrace of textile arts as a serious sculptural medium, drawing from traditions of weaving, ritual objects, and natural forms. Signed and one-of-a-kind, this is a commanding and poetic example of mid-20th-century fiber sculpture—perfect for collectors of modernist textile art or large-scale decorative installations. Dimensions: 48" W x 63" H Medium: Wrapped fiber, cotton/wool, silk, or bronze or iron rod Provenance: Artist signed, Huntington, New York Condition: Excellent vintage condition
