About the Item
Dan Friedman Large Fiber Art Wall Hanging, Wool, Cotton
Wood, 1970s
This striking large-scale fiber wall sculpture is attributed to Dan Friedman and exemplifies the experimental spirit of 1970s American fiber art, when artists and designers increasingly blurred the boundaries between fine art, craft, and architectural form.
Measuring 36 inches wide x 48 inches high x approximately 5 inches deep, the work is constructed from wool and cotton fibers mounted on a wood support, creating a richly dimensional, sculptural presence. The composition features a dramatic central biomorphic form rendered in dense tufted and looped pile, surrounded by concentric wrapped cord elements and finished with cascading tassels and fringe. The surface invites close inspection, offering pronounced tactile contrast between tightly bound cords, plush pile, and free-hanging fibers.
The restrained, natural palette—ranging from soft ivory to warm cream—reflects the era’s emphasis on organic materials, handcraft, and material authenticity. The abstract form evokes both landscape and bodily associations, a hallmark of post-minimalist and craft-revival fiber work of the period. The reverse reveals hand-assembled construction and hanging hardware consistent with studio-made pieces rather than decorative production.
Dan Friedman is best known for his radical contributions to postmodern graphic design and experimental furniture, yet works such as this align with his broader interest in structure, repetition, and spatial systems. Whether viewed as fiber art, textile sculpture, or wall-mounted relief, this piece makes a powerful architectural statement.
An exceptional example of 1970s studio fiber art, ideal for collectors of postwar American design and interiors seeking texture, scale, and sculptural depth.
