OCTOBER
Mid-Century Maestro: The Textiles of Boris Kroll
October 2 – December 7, 2013
For six decades, beginning in the 1930s, Boris Kroll and his eponymous firm were celebrated for distinctive collections of high-quality woven fabrics for the design industry. A self-taught weaver, Kroll was perhaps best known for combining advanced weaving technology with a bold color sensibility to create his trademark jacquard-woven geometric patterns, in intense hues ranging from brilliant crimsons to deep blues and greens. After Kroll's death in 1991, the firm was purchased by Scalamandré, one of the country's most prestigious producers of fine fabrics, wall coverings, and accessory products. This exhibition will showcase the extraordinary range and sophistication of the Boris Kroll collections in a display of historic textiles and furniture, along with photographs and documentary materials to bring its rich history to life.
