The Museum's Contemporary Craft Gallery and the Carole and Albert Angel Promenade will host an exhibition of work by nationally known fiber artist Ina Golub. The thirty objects on view explore the range of materials and themes used by this versatile Newark-born artist over the past four decades of her career. The works include weaving, fiber collage and beadwork, as well as the exquisitely rendered design drawings that Golub prepares for her important commissions. In addition to pieces from the artist's collection, objects have been lent from across the United States for this exhibition. Each of these works is infused with Golub's strong sense of color and texture, which drew her from the world of tapestry weaving into the more three-dimensional aspects of beadwork.
With this exhibition, Ina Golub returns to the city of her birth, marking the completion of one circle in the artist's life. Here, where she first learned to love the artistic possibilities of fiber, visitors can admire the work of a lifetime devoted to art.
