Hand made, hand woven horse hair and wool spectacular textile wall hanging by pioneering woman artist and art dealer of Latin America art, Marlene Hoffmann. It consists of a horsehair design handwoven onto a wool handmade back. (this is a sort of tapestry, not the Aubusson or Gobelin type but more of a 3D sculptural wall piece.) She is considered a pioneer in the field of Colombian textile art, in company with Olga de Amaral and Stella Bernal. She owned and directed an influential gallery on Bogota Colombia for many years. She is on the Metropolitan Museum in NYC timeline of world art. In the 1960s, Pop Art inspired artists. Gloria Valencia de Castaño invented and that invited designers to show what fashion would be like in the year 2000, inspired by masters of Colombian art, such as Enrique Grau, Alejandro Obregón, Felisa Burstyn, Cecilia Porras, Omar Rayo and David Manzur. Gonzalo Arango presented an outfit for a swimmer (bathing suit) and Olga de Amaral and Marlene Hoffman wove some of the fabrics for the designs.
Since the Visionaries program investigations, it has been a pleasure to find the work of Marlene Hoffmann, Latin American Colombian pioneer of textile art who, together with Olga de Amaral, Gabriela Samper de Bermúdez, among others, laid the foundations of a language that for a long time was an axis in the national artistic scene, and that from the hand of architecture was part of the intellectual process that modernized Bogotá and the way of inhabiting it.
She has showed with major Colombian artists Fernando Botero, Luis Caballero, Santiago Cárdenas Arroyo, Beatriz Daza, Beatriz Gonzalez Enrique Grau, Sonia Gutierrez, Manuel Hernandez, David Manzur, Alfonso Mateus, Alejandro Obregón, Omar Rayo, Augusto Rivera Garcés, Juan Antonio Roda, Carlos Rojas, Bernardo Salcedo, Guillermo Wiedemann, Nirma Zárate, Alvaro Herrán Salustiano Romero, Alicia Tafur, Olga de Amaral, Marlene Hoffmann, Graciela Samper. She was a pioneer textile, fiber artists. of the generation of Sheila Hicks, Anni Albers, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Joseph Grau-Garriga, Ruth Asawa and El Anatsui.
Her work was part of group of tapestry designers. Two were Brazilian: Jacques Douchez (b. 1924) and Norberto Nicola (b. 1930). They engaged in highly inventive geometric design, producing tapestries of excellent quality that hold a place of distinction in Brazilian Concretism. The Colombian Marlene Hoffmann (b. 1934) first exhibited her tapestries, in which geometric planes are combined to powerful effect, in 1963 at the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota. The tapestries of geometric design presented in 1971 by the Costa Rican Lola Fernandez (b. 1926) are superior to her usual Abstract Expressionist compositions. This one looks like a Pre Columbian mural painting.
