“It all begins in the mid-fifteenth century at the heart of the Renaissance in Italy, where this fascinating period in needlework represented a significant advancement in civilization in an age of enlightenment. Man was now important and ornamentation and the decorative arts would blossom. He was encouraged to seek new vistas in his view of the world, to experiment, to develop new technologies and accept the enduring challenge to do his best . . . and he reached unfathomed heights of perfection in all he touched.”—Jules Kliot
Gallery talks are included with BAM/PFA admission.
