Margret Eicher: It's a Digital World! - Paperback

by Margaret Eicher (Artist), Wolfgang Ullrich (Editor)

Eicher's large-scale tapestries swap royals for celebrities to riff on art history and contemporary visual culture

While tapestries have historically been used by nobility to celebrate their exploits, Margret Eicher (born 1955) revives the genre with a surprising topicality, depicting today's most recognizable celebrities and characters. Eicher thus provides a critical dimension to tapestry making, presenting the consequences of the digital revolution.
