About the Item
“Islandsk landskab”, handwoven tapestry in wool and linen.
Denmark, c. 2000.
Dimensions: 42 × 123 cm.
Exceptional handwoven wall tapestry by the renowned Danish textile artist Vibeke Klint, titled “Islandsk landskab.” Executed in wool and linen around the year 2000, the work was originally acquired by the first owner through the art society at Klint’s former workplace — a provenance that adds a personal and institutional depth to the piece.
The composition reveals Klint’s masterful balance between rhythm, structure, and tonality, evoking the raw light and layered topography of an Icelandic landscape. With its painterly sense of form and its geological undertones, the tapestry bears striking affinities to the abstract landscapes of Per Kirkeby, merging textile discipline with a near-sculptural feeling for material and color.
Vibeke Klint, trained under Gerda Henning, stands among the most significant figures in Scandinavian textile art. Her work bridges Nordic craft traditions and modernist minimalism, expressed through monumental commissions for churches, public buildings, and private interiors.
“Islandsk landskab” exemplifies her ability to transform natural inspiration into a refined visual language — a synthesis of landscape and abstraction that defines the very essence of 20th-century Danish textile design.
