Theo Leffmann: Weaving a Life into Art
Ongoing, on display April 24–June 28, 2009
Theo Leffmann Gallery
Theo Leffmann, Carioca, 1971, linen, wool, cotton, and synthetic yarn. Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, Gift of Paul Leffmann.
Theo Leffmann is recognized as a rich contributor to the American fiber art movement in the late twentieth century. For more than 30 years, Leffmann liberated textiles from practical and decorative applications by using them as a means of personal expression.
Through the generous gift of Paul Leffmann, these works are part of the Block Museum's permanent collection.
