Amazingly, two Textile Artworks of The Year are being sold next week, in Stockholm and London, and they could not be more different. Marie Louise Ekman kicked off the TAwOTY for Swedish royal textile weavers AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström in 2002 with her untitled depiction of a draped figure breastfeeding a draped hovering child. That one's in Stockholm.
Meanwhile, Olafur Eliasson's The Green Glass Carpet (2010) is selling in London after hanging for seven years in the now-closed outpost of the NY Swedish restaurant Aquavit.
The whereabouts of HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's 2009 TAwOTY is not known, but it is thought to not be currently for sale.

“The Vertical Panorama Pavilion,”
The pavilion takes inspiration from the history of circular calendars and reflects the climate of the Sonoma Valley. A conical structure built from a stainless steel structure comprised of twelve columns, that emulate the months of a year, supporting the colourful canopy, which measures 14.5 metres in diameter and is made from 832 glass panels in 24 different colours
A winding gravel path leads to an area of outdoor seating. The sun, hitting the orange, blue, pink and red-clad structure with its rays, causes the reflection of glasses plunges the brick wall with a full spectrum of colours, in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape. 832 glass panels in 24 different colours.
