In both his baskets and weavings Rossbach commented, among other things, on popular culture, history and how he saw the world and man's place in it. He asserted that recognizable images such as Mickey Mouse are the iconic symbols of our time, much like mythological and biblical figures of the past, and included them on many of his baskets.
Regardless of intention or technique, each piece on view in the exhibition resonates with its collector, motivating him or her to integrate the particular artwork into his or her life.
Private Pleasures: Collecting Contemporary Textile Art is curated by Rebecca A.T. Stevens, The Textile Museum's Consulting Curator for Contemporary Textiles, and is accompanied by an evening lecture series funded by Eleanor T. and Samuel J. Rosenfeld.
