Tanavoli, Parviz: Undiscovered Minimalism. Gelims from Northern Iran. Zürich: Weber 2011. 36 x 28 cm. With numerous color illustrations. 256 pp. Original cloth-bound edition with original dust jacket.
(Dust jacket has minimal scuffing.)
The first issue of this lavishly designed scholarly publication focuses on a previously little-known group of Persian flat-woven textiles from the Mazandaran region in northern Iran. Internationally renowned Iranian artist, sculptor, and textile researcher Parviz Tanavoli, together with Werner Weber and Heinz Meyer, explores the extraordinary gelims from the remote mountainous regions of the Hezar-Jerib area. These pieces, often crafted by anonymous weavers, captivate with their minimalist, strictly geometric design, subtle color nuances, and a surprising affinity for the aesthetics of modern Minimal Art.
