For more than 50 years ELISABETH HAARR (b. 1945) has been one of the most significant artists in Norway, working since the end of the 1960s with textiles in a number of different idioms. From early experimentation with the potential of tapestry as modern visual art to political works with an activist message in the 1970s, and later sculptural installations of rugs, banners, figures and drapes, Haarr’s oeuvre made important contributions to the reception of textiles as material in the art of today. Tackling topics such as feminism, antifascism and environmental protection, Haarr’s works are at least as relevant today
