MAGDA VITALYOS ZIMAN BIOGRAPHY
Magda Vitalyos Ziman (1942-2003) was a Romanian-born artist of Hungarian descent, known for tapestries and wallhangings: her sensuous works investigate material engagement, scale, light, and color through highly personal use of abstracted organic forms. Both Ziman’s fascination with natural materials – various threads, including the wool featured here – and her creation of object-tapestries at the interface of two and three dimensions can now be seen to anticipate the subsequent recasting of textiles as soft sculptures.
