Description
Erstmals präsentiert die Publikation die außergewöhnlich reiche und bislang unveröffentlichte britische Neville Kingston Collection turkmenischer Stammesteppiche, Decken und weiterer Textilien. Die herausragende Privatsammlung bildet den Ausgangspunkt eines spannenden Berichts über die Entwicklung der turkmenischen Webtradition, die im Zentrum der eurasischen Textilgeschichte steht.
Elena Tsarevas umfangreichen Forschungen zur turkmenischen Teppichkunst im Lichte archäologischer und historischer Erkenntnisse ist ein differenziertes Bild der zentralasiatischen Textilkunst zu verdanken. Es zeigt, wie jede Epoche etwas zum Kern des Teppichwebens beitrug, es um neue Motive, Kompositionen und Techniken bereicherte.
The publication introduces for the first time the extraordinarily rich yet previously unknown British collection of Turkmen tribal carpets, rugs and trappings by Neville Kingston. The exceptional private collection forms the departure point for an exciting account of the development of the Turkmen weaving tradition, which lies at the heart of Eurasian textiles.
Thanks to Elena Tsareva's extensive study of the art of Turkmen carpets in the light of archaeological and historical data, a complex picture of central Asian textiles has emerged. It shows how every epoch has contributed to the fundamentals of carpet-weaving and enriched it with new motifs, compositions and techniques.
