The artwork, titled “Path II,” was created by the artist Lenore Tawney in 1966. It belongs to the art movement known as Post-Minimalism and falls under the genre of tapestry.
In “Path II,” Lenore Tawney employs an abstract geometric design that features four vertically arranged rectangular segments with negative space in the middle of each, making the tapestry appear as if it is interwoven with solid and empty spaces. The material used exudes an organic texture, with the fringe on the bottom and top edges adding a tactile quality to the piece. The tapestry casts a pronounced shadow on the adjacent wall, creating a stunning contrast between light and dark elements and adding an additional dimension to the artwork. The interplay of light, shadow, and texture exemplifies the Post-Minimalist emphasis on materiality and spatial relationships.
