Vera Szkely

After training as a graphic designer in Hungary, the plastic artist Vera Szkely (1919-1994), a member of the Szkely-Borderie ceramicist collective, tackled work in clay, metal, wood and glass to reach her artistic fulfillment in textiles. From this point on, Vera Szkely acknowledged swimming and dancing in space to leave a trace in it with her ephemeral installations of bent felt, her stretched canvas structures and braced sails that would be exhibited throughout the world, notably at the Biennale internationale de la tapisserie, Lausanne (1981) the Muse national dart moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou (1982), the Muse dart moderne de la ville de Paris (1985), the Lunds Konsthall, Sweden (1988).
