Overview
Be transported with the new exhibition in the Art Gallery of NSW’s Asian gallery: Silk Ikats of Central Asia.
Despite the sense of tranquility normally characteristic to the Asian gallery, the vibrant colours and designs of the ikat robes (on loan from the Islamic Arts Museum, Malaysia) create an exciting and intoxicating energy.
Silk ikat robes were collected and worn throughout Central Asia during the 1800s to signify wealth and status, and this show does their exquisite nature justice.
