Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

    N OHRA HAIME GALLERY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 7 3 0 F I F T H A V E N U E OLGA DE AMARAL PLACES September 13 – November 24, 2012 “Gold is the Abstraction of Color.” -Olga de Amaral PUEBLO O, 2012, gesso, gold leaf, linen, acrylic, 39.37 x 78.74 in. 100 x 200 cm. OLGA DE AMARAL: PLACES an exhibition of 23 three-dimensional surfaces, will open at the Nohra Haime Gallery on Thursday, September 13th from 6 to 8 p.m. First exhibited in New York at the André Emmerich Gallery in 1973, Amaral’s abstract “golden surfaces of light” are unlike anything else. Transcending any one specific media, her work plays a unique balancing act between fine art and fiber art. Filling a gap that is virtually untouched, she pulls inspiration from Pre-Colombian weaving and Colonial gilding, abstracting them to the extent of universality. Gold has become a formal part of her vocabulary and renders her work collectively recognizable. Methodically assembled with a myriad of rectangular pre-fabricated pieces of fiber made into strips and rolls, the artist recreates the inner world of the universe. She choreographs these compositions with a labyrinth of winding, swirling and twisting interwoven patterns. Wind, light, mountains, trees, and rivers take heroic grandeur in her exploration of the universe. Departing from the static world of the two dimensional surface, she conceives monochromatic environments of shimmering presence and seduct ive forms. She weaves, cuts, molds, marks and tints her materials, fusing and merging them to create a tension that redefines the natural order of things.

California and the Fiber Art Revolution Suzanne Baizerman Imogene Gieling Curator of Crafts and Decorative Arts Oakland Museum of California Oakland, CA 510-238-3005 [email protected] In the 1960s and ‘70s, California artists participated in and influenced an international revolution in fiber art. The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Courtesy Craft in America Center Archives. In the trajectory of fiber art history, the 1971 UCLA Art Galleries exhibition, Deliberate Entanglements, was exceptional in that it had an active and direct influence on the artistic movement. It has been cited in numerous sources, by participating artists, and by others who simply visited and attended as having had a lasting impact on their careers. In this day and age, it is rare for exhibitions at institutions to play such a powerful role and have a lasting impact. The exhibition was curated by UCLA art professor and fiber program head, Bernard Kester. From his post at UCLA, Kester fostered fiber as a medium for contemporary art.

These 20th- and 21st-century works are among the finest examples of studio craft and represent objects by notable artists, such as fiber artists Anni Albers and Sheila Hicks, sculptor Robert Arneson, glass artist Dale Chihuly, and furniture maker John Cederquist. The gift includes works of fiber (94), ceramics (24), glass (19), turned wood/carvings (11), metal (5), furniture (4), jewelry (2), Structure No. 18: Theory of Lift, basketry (1), and folk art (1). The largest donor of contemporary craft in the Jeanette Marie Ahlgren, 1994 Museum’s history, Mrs. Farago has transformed the MFA’s collection with gifts totaling nearly 950 objects to the Museum in her lifetime. Other significant donations to the MFA by Mrs. Farago include the 2006 gift of more than 650 pieces of contemporary jewelry and the 2004 gift of more than 80 works of contemporary fiber art created by the late Edward Rossbach and Katherine Westphal. "These works illustrate Daphne Farago's vision as a collector — they are part of her personal collection and represent some of the finest, most intellectually and technically ambitious creations in these areas," said Malcolm Rogers, Ann and Graham Gund Director of the MFA.
