Three months from today, an exhibition will be opening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. So, big deal! What does that have to do with the Bay Area, you ask?
Well, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will present, Off the Wall: American Art to Wear, which will feature the history and designs of the Art to Wear movement of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Some of the history and designs included in the exhibition are of San Francisco Bay Area artists/designers creating their work and represented by the San Francisco boutique, Obiko, owned and operated by Sandra Sakata during that period (links below).
Philadelphia Museum of Art:
"The exhibition examines the astonishing inventiveness and techniques of a generation of mixed-media artists who pioneered a new art form designed around the body. Coming of age during the dramatic cultural shifts of the 1960s and 70s, the artists in this distinctively American movement explored nontraditional materials and methods to create adventurous, deeply imaginative works."
The
exhibition was curated by Dilys Blum, The Jack M. and Annette Y.
Friedland Senior Curator of Costume and Textiles; and Mary Schoeser,
independent textile historian and curator and has been made possible by
Julie Schafler Dale, PNC, The Coby Foundation, the Arlin and Neysa Adams Endowment Fund, Catherine and Laurence Altman, the Center for American Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and other generous donors.
