Threads of Power: Ikle Lace Collection On Display At The Bard Graduate Center Gallery, New York
Select pieces of the Ikle lace collection are currently on display at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery in New York until January 1, 2023. St. Gallen, located in eastern Switzerland, has been an important center of textile production since the fifteenth century. The city is home to the Textilmuseum St. Gallen, established in 1878, which houses an extensive collection of historical lace, thanks in large part to early twentieth-century donations from Leopold Iklé (1838–1922), a local textile manufacturer. Drawing on this rich repository, Threads of Power traces the history of European lace in fashion from its sixteenth-century origins to today.
