[Solved] Pop Art Textile  

It reminds me of Victor...
It reminds me of Victor Vasarely. Although I don't think he ever did anything in needlepoint.

You never know though!
I heard that Mimmo Rotella was a dab hand with a knitting needle! and what Pollock couldnt do with a crochet hook and a ball of string wasnt worth knowing.

i had a few similar pieces...
i had a few similar pieces from the same gallery, i got them at an estate sale, i was told they were done by the women who had them framed at the gallery

Thank you!
I was thinking of Victor Vasarely as well when I saw it. Lisa, do you know if the gallery is still around? I am located in Denver, CO - long travel for the piece - Do you still have your pieces? Any additional information would be great!
Thanks!

I grew up in Short Hills,...
I grew up in Short Hills, and my mother was an excellent needlepoint sewer. She bought the yarn and canvases from a woman in Short Hills who painted the designs to be sewn. In fact, the woman would go through art books to find paintings that served as her inspiration. My mother did a needlepoint that is very similar to what you photographed, so I guess that this is the answer to your question. My mother died many years ago, so I can't supply any more information.

the gallery is no longer in...
the gallery is no longer in business unfortunately and I sold mine a couple of years ago, sorry that's all I know

Thanks
podboy -- I admire the work of V Vasarely and hadn't seen the three pieces you show. He has done some really eye-popping "op art" paintings and prints.
Of particular interest to me, however, are his bas-relief wall pieces, which present evolving or morphing images as the viewer moves from right to left and vice versa. I don't know if these have been photographed successfully. . .

Thank you...
Thank you for all the feedback - I treasure the work that was put into this piece.
Thanks again!
