BETYE SAAR (1926 - )
Needles
.
Mixed media assemblage, with four small collages, 1986. 127x332 mm; 5x13 inches. Signed, titled
and dated in ink, inside right.
Provenance: the estate of Varnette Honeywood; thence by descent to the current owner.
Saar’s use of found objects is invoked in this sewing book—a reference to her many other assemblages
that use fabrics, needlepoint and stitched threads to fashion collaged objects.
