Description
All rugs are produced with the relevant institution estate or artist, closely involved in the whole process to ensure that the end result is as faithful to the original work as possible, the same as producing a limited edition print.
One of the pioneering figures in British abstract art and a trailblazer among women artists, Sandra Blow began her career in 1941, enrolling at St Martin’s School of Art aged just 16. Over the following six decades, her expressive, large-scale and colourful canvasses – often incorporating ‘non-art’ materials such as sawdust and sackcloth – earned her exhibitions at some of the world’s most prestigious galleries, won her a teaching position at the Royal College of Art – which she held for 10 years – and had her elected to the Royal Academy. Since her death, aged 80, Blow has been honoured with a Tate Britain retrospective and a biography.
