‘Through the Threads’ is the most comprehensive monograph on Synnøve Anker Aurdal (1908–2000) to date, documenting the 60-year career of this pioneering Norwegian textile artist. By combining traditional craft techniques and the language of painterly abstraction, Anker Aurdal reinvented tapestry-making and created a new space for modern textile art. Despite a thriving career, the fact that she was a woman with no academic artistic education, working in feminised artistic media, shaped her trajectory and the reception of her work. Presenting both exhibition views and archival photographs, the book serves as a printed sequel to the 2022 retrospective exhibition ‘Synnøve Anker Aurdal’ at Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo.
