|
Washington D.C. 2010
304 pp. 9.75 x 11 Hardback in dustjacket in New condition.
Beautiful collection. "108 full pages of double page spread plates; 185 individual catalogue images; 90+ historic photographs, details of ikats, comparative material, and diagrams. Nineteenth-century Central Asian ikats are distinguished by bold, original designs using vibrant colors and are prized for their great beauty. Today the influence of ikat textiles can be seen in contemporary fashion and home decor. Colors of the Oasis explores the artistic, social, and economic aspects of Central Asian ikat production and the role these textiles played in the nineteenth-century role and upper-middle-class urban society living in oasis towns of what is now Uzbekistan, while bringing attention to the contemporary revival of ikat production in Uzbekistan and its historic influences. Ikats derive their name from the technique used to create them, wherein parts of the warp or weft are protected in order to resist dye. The process is complex, requiring highly skilled and specialized craftsmen and careful planning before weaving starts. The resulting textiles are recognized for their daring, often large designs, clever color combinations and dazzling palettes. Colors of the Oasis presents 185 never-before-seen ikat textiles from the outstanding collection donated to The Textile Museum since 2005 by Murad Megalli of Istanbul. Includes essays: Abr Fabrics of Uzbekistan - Sayera Makhkamova; The Many Lives of Ikat - Kate Fitz Gibbon; Central Asian Ikats: Origins and Sources of Design - Andrew Hale; Oasis Style - Sumru Belger Krody; The Russian Connection: Printed-cotton Export Cloth - Susan Meller; Binding Clouds in the Twenty-First Century: Central Asian Ikat Today - Mary M. Dusenbury; Central Asian Ikats in the Silahtar Treasury at the Topkapi Palace Museum - Feza Çakmut " -Publisher
