Acquiring historical textiles requires a methodical approach, as the market for woven art moves from decorative appeal to rigorous academic collecting. In 2026, interest in centuries-old weaving centers reached a more analytical phase.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, world-renowned artist Mateo Blanco presents Silver Falls Flag (2026), a textile work that offers a quietly powerful meditation on one of the nation’s most enduring symbols. Unveiled at a moment of reflection, the work departs from the fixed geometry of the American flag and instead imagines it in motion—its stars no longer suspended in stillness, but descending, dissolving, and flowing as if carried by water. In Blanco’s hands, the flag becomes a cascade of silver threads, evoking waterfalls and the continuous rhythms of the natural world.

By on • ( 3 Comments )

Paola Zamudio of npz studio+ wanted to elevate the arts to new heights in celebration of the iconic Bell Works to honor the building’s rich history of innovation, so as the Lead Designer and Creative Director of Bell Works, she brought on friend and New York-based artist, Sebastien Courty for an unforgettable project. Amazed by the building’s grandeur and stylistic architecture, they were soon commissioned thereafter by Ralph Zucker, in honor of Jozef and Jonathan Straus, to create The Fabric of Bell, a subcollection from the in-house art collection of Totem, A Wall’s Jewelry. Inspired and commemorating the historic original Bell Labs, which was previously a research facility and awarded eight Nobel prizes during its tenure, the project was an innate expression and tribute to Eero Saarinen, the architect of the lavish Bell Works building.
