Volume Gallery is delighted to announce a solo exhibition of work from the 1970s and 80s by celebrated fiber artist Françoise Grossen opening March 5, 2022. The Swiss-American artist is considered one of the most innovative textile artists of her generation.

Best known for her momentous hanging works of knotted rope, Grossen’s experimental use of uncomplicated braiding and plaiting techniques broke with many conventions. Part of a movement elevating craft in 1960s and 70s New York, Grossen moved away from the rectangle, the loom, the wall, and fine materials by knotting her monumental forms by hand with commonplace rope and suspending them from the ceiling.
