Magdalena Abakanowicz, a pioneering artist of the Nouvelle Tapisserie (New Tapestry) movement, revolutionized the art of weaving in the 1960s. She elevated this craft to the level of sculptural expression, utilizing the potential of organic fibers like wool, sisal, and linen as living, malleable materials to bring her artistic vision to life, inspired by her observations of nature and humanity. Her breathtaking wall-mounted and spatial woven works gained her international recognition and marked several editions of the Biennale of Tapestry, an exhibition held in the Swiss city of Lausanne from 1962 to 1995. This French-language book sheds light on the significant role that Lausanne played in the early stages of Abakanowicz's international career and her artistic explorations. Her reflections and creative journeys are intertwined with places and encounters in Lausanne and the rest of Switzerland, including the Bienniale of Tapestry and the Alice Pauli Gallery, local art patrons and collectors, scholars, and friends.
