Description
This book features the fine tribal rug collection that has been built over many years by a Buenos Aires artist/architect. At its heart it has a superb collection of 'bird' designs and other characteristic knotted-pile rugs woven by the nomadic tribes of the Khamesh Confederation in southwestern Iran during the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition there are smaller numbers of kindred weavings made by neighbouring South Persian nomads such as the Qashqa'i and the Afshar, as well as two highly focussed groups of Shikli Kazak and 'keyhole' design village rugs from the Transcaucasian region. The collector/author's lucid bilingual texts explaining his collecting passion and choices are informed by his perspective as a successful artist and architect working in the Argentinian capital.
About the Author
Abel Trybiarz is an architect, sculptor, draftsman and painter who has dedicated himself passionately to these disciplines. One of the remarkable characteristics of his work is his combination of all of them . Artworks are integrated from the outset in his architecture, included as an essential part of the projects. They can be seen in more than thirty buildings in Buenos Aires, present in the street in front of them, or incorporated in the interiors as part of the architecture.
