The Collection de l'Art Brut lends a work by Judith Scott to Brooklyn Museum (New York)

The Collection de l'Art Brut is contributing to the "Judith Scott - Bound and Unbound " show at the Brooklyn Museum (New York, 24 October 2014 thru 29 March 2015) with the loan of the very last piece that Judith Scott created.

Judith Scott's work is celebrated for its astonishing visual complexity and outstanding originality. This creator was wont to snap up widely varied objects of all kinds — here a fan, there an umbrella, various magazines — to form the core of her creations. Bundling such objects together with string, she would encircle and wrap them using different yarns, cords and fibers so as to both protect and entirely conceal them. Judith Scott defied all traditional principles linked to weaving, embroidering or sewing, instead inventing a refined technique all of her own to superpose and arrange the array of threads.
