Łódź, Central Museum of Textiles

The Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź is commemorating the recent passing of Magdalena Abakanowicz, an internationally renowned Polish artist whose international career started at the Lausanne Tapestry Biennials.

The inaugural exhibition will present a series of textile works preserved in public and private collections in Poland. The second exhibition will bring together 25 of the artist’s creations belonging to the Fondation Toms Pauli Contemporary Collection.

This two-part event pays tribute to Abakanowicz’s fundamental research ranging from mural tapestry to sculpture, and highlights her pioneering role in the development of twentieth-century textile art.
