A 1970s Japanese Commercial Knitting Sampler: Modernist Appeal

1970s
16 1/4" x 24", 41 cm x 61 cm

This charming sampler is from 1970s Japan and it is from a company who manufactured machine knitted items. This is the last available piece from the collection offered here over the past few weeks: it is the largest and most complex one.

It is reminiscent of Gerhard Richter's color chart paintings and this charming visual association adds interest to this curiously attractive, old knitting sampler.

This would make an intriguing artwork to frame or hang on the wall and certainly it contains enough visual interest to sustain one's interest over the course of a long while.
