Art Hatje Cantz Verlag | Pia Ferm

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 Watercolor 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.

Pia Ferm (*1986) Completed Her Art Studies At The Hochschule Für Bildende Künste-Städelschule In Frankfurt. Her First Solo Exhibitions Took Place At Nassauischer Kunstverein In Wiesbaden And At Kunst- Und Kulturstiftung Opelvillen Rüsselsheim.
