Magdalena Abakanowicz

Magdalena Abakanowicz was a Polish artist and sculptor of the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. She is known as a reformer of the art of tapestry.

Magdalena Abakanowicz became famous for her so-called abakans - monumental compositions that turn a tapestry into a three-dimensional sculpture. The artist created a series of semi-abstract and figurative groups in this style, some of which have been translated into bronze. The artist has also worked in drawing and painting in charcoal and oil.
