Summary

Pia Ferm (Bilingual edition) is the first monograph presenting an in-depth look at Swedish artist Pia Ferm's distinctive approach to art. It showcases her marble sculptures alongside her tufted tapestries, which retain visible traces of their origins in sketches and watercolour drawings. The abstract patterns of her tapestries evoke painting more than traditional tapestry, aptly described as "woven drawing." The book explores Ferm's challenge to artistic boundaries, examining when a work transitions between sculpture and painting. Extensive visual material complements insightful texts on her creative process.

Description

The first monograph by Swedish artist Pia Ferm provides a comprehensive overview of both her marble sculptures and tufted tapestries. These are created from sketches and watercolour drawings, though their drawing origins remain visible in the hand-worked wool surfaces.

The abstract patterns of these works are more reminiscent of paintings than of classic tapestries—thus the term "woven drawing" unquestionably fits Ferm's distinctive works. The artist is concerned with breaking down genre boundaries: When does a work of art cross the status from sculpture to painting, or vice versa?

In addition to extensive visual material, the monograph contains texts on the artist's working methods.
