Peter Collingwood (British 1922-2008)
Macrogauze M.84, No.11
incised with signature, title and number 'M.84 NO.11 P.Collingwood' (on metal plate)
mixed media sculpture (macrogauze wall hanging of woven linen and steel)
180 x 22 cm
Footnote:
Peter Collingwood was best known for his Macrogauze technique, which he began developing in the 1960s. The technique combined steel and brass with linen threadwork, allowing Collingwood to develop three-dimensional designs and dynamic structures that would not have been possible using conventional yarns and thread. Displayed in the 1968 Art in Industry exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the series continued to be popular throughout Collingwood’s career as an example of textile art that was sculptural rather than traditional flat weaving.
Sold for £7,500
Condition Report
Overall in fairly good condition. Some of the threads are a little loose and lightly bobbled in areas.
