Colombian artist Olga de Amaral (b 1932) first exhibited her “golden surfaces of light” at the André Emmerich’s New York gallery in 1973. Her work plays a unique balancing act between fine art and fiber art. Gold has become a formal part of her vocabulary and renders her work collectively recognizable.
Methodically assembled with a myriad of rectangular pre-fabricated pieces of fiber made into strips and rolls, the artist recreates the inner world of the universe. The compositions are a labyrinth of winding, swirling and twisting interwoven patterns. Wind, light, mountains, trees, and rivers take heroic grandeur in her exploration of the universe.
Departing from the static world of the two-dimensional surface, she conceives monochromatic environments of shimmering presence and seductive forms. She weaves, cuts, molds, marks and tints her materials, fusing and merging them to create a tension that redefines the natural order of things. Their content is only revealed upon close examination, and “just when we think we have it in our grasp, defined and categorized, it slips away, taking on another shape,” describes art historian, Twylene Moyer.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, Olga de Amaral studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. During the 1960s, Amaral played an important role in transforming traditional two-dimensional textiles into sculptural works of art. In 1973 she was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 2005 she was selected as a Visionary Artist by the Museum of Art and Design in New York, an award that celebrates her commitment to the highest quality. She is represented in the collections of over 40 museums worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

@allthingsmustgeorge​ I got to Meet him!!  I worked at Cranbrook art museum at the time & they were having retrospective exhibition of his work. I was an education coordinator for the art summer camp. And he walked through and explained every piece in the collection for all the museum staff. It was incredible not only was it amazing hearing it from him - but his work in general is so powerful & beautiful 
And I was running a kids table at a sound suit performance in Detroit & afterwards we went to a diner next door to the cafe/exhibition space & I ended up sitting at his table- he was so nice, It was such a cool experience.

With a wealth of images and commentary, this is the essential career survey of Cave's socially responsive art
The definitive volume on the ever-evolving and shape-shifting work of the Chicago-based artist, Nick Cave: Forothermore highlights the way Cave’s practice has shifted and continues to shift in response to our history and current moment of cultural crisis. Including several new, never-before-seen works, the book shows an artist at the height of his power.  Addressing topics ranging from art history to social justice, Nick Cave:Forothermore includes essays from Naomi Beckwith, Romi Crawford, Antwaun Sargent, Malik Gaines, Krista Thompson and Meida Teresa McNeal. Punctuating these contributions are interviews with the artist exploring his life, work and teaching practice, as well as a roundtable discussion between Cave and dancer Damita Jo Freeman, musician Nona Hendryx and publisher Linda Johnson Rice on Cave's art and influences, as well as pivotal cultural phenomena from Soul Train to Ebony magazine. Nick Cave: Forothermore reveals the way art, music, fashion and performance can help us envision a more just future.
Nick Cave (born 1959) is an artist and educator working between the visual and performing arts through a wide range of mediums, including sculpture, installation, video, sound and performance. Cave is well known for his Soundsuits, sculptural forms based on the scale of his body, initially created in direct response to the police beating of Rodney King in 1991. Cave has had major exhibitions at MASS MoCA (2016), Cranbrook Art Museum (2015), Saint Louis Art Museum (2014–15), ICA Boston (2014), Denver Art Museum (2013), Seattle Art Museum (2011) and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (2009), among others. Cave lives and works in Chicago.
