“All arts was once contemporary,” these textiles have been collected and admired by many important artists such as Anni and Josef Albers, which have greatly influenced 20th/21st century artistic and aesthetic developments. The affinities between ancient and modern art practice are a visual celebration of our common humanity, creating a kinship with these ancient splendorous achievements and our own arts of recent times. In light of this, our programs focus on the elaboration of a cohesive arts history, and aspire to stimulating conversations between ancient and modern arts.
