Applying his unique eye for exceptional craftsmanship, Sassoon has collaborated with the spectacular Parham House in West Sussex, to stage a panorama of new works by his celebrated contemporar y ar tists.

In a period without ar t fairs, the project fosters a dialogue between the precious objects and the textures of the interior architectural feature. Reflecting the rich collecting spirit of the house, which includes one of the finest and most impor tant collections of 17th centur y embroider y in the countr y, the display intelligently introduces contemporar y ceramics, glass, and silver to the antique textiles, furniture, and paintings.

Issue Three ‘Parham’s Rich Tapestr y’ is the third and final instalment in our series of catalogues and explores the connections between our ar tists’ exceptional skills and the craftsmanship which went into the creation of the historical treasures within the house. Par ticular attention is paid to surface ornamentation and creative techniques employed both then and now.

A complementar y film has been produced to fur ther explore these themes, featuring ar tist, Kate Malone and Simon Mar tin, Director of Pallant House in Chichester. adriansassoon-viewingroom.com/issuethree

A selection of the contemporar y works of ar t will be re-displayed at Parham when the house reopens to visitors from 21st July www.parhaminsussex.co.uk

“This particular period has a truth and simplicity that isn’t over-refined. To me it’s the embroideries; they don’t take themselves very seriously… it’s that naivety and purity of response to the material and the moment that is truly inspiring.”

“There are so many loving hours in everything that’s here. The makers of these things, it’s as if they’re speaking through their craft.”

Kate Malone, Artist

“With contemporary craftwork, often we might expect to see them in a white cube, for example, but people don’t live in white cubes, they live surrounded by furniture and objects and I think seeing pieces around the house here you can imagine how they might be in somebody’s home.”
