About this Lot
Description
Parviz TANAVOLI. Undiscovered Minimalism: Gelims from Northern Iran. Zurich: Weber, 2011. Pp. 256. Circa 150 coloured plates (115 full- or double-page). Original dark brown cloth, dust jacket. Excellent copy. Gelims are a recent discovery for the west: starting in the mid- 1990s, a previously unrecognized genre of beautiful and startlingly modern looking large flatwoven hangings and covers (gelims) has emerged from an isolated highland region in Mazandaran Province in northern Iran. This beautiful book does them justice!
Folio 14" x 11"
