Herta Ottolenghi Wedekind (Berlin, 1885 – Acqui, 1953) developed, from the 1920s onward, symmetrical images arising from the folding of a sheet of paper. Through the technique of klecksography and its later translations into embroidery, fabrics, tapestries, carpets, screens and seat coverings, form became the sensory manifestation of an invisible order.
In 2026 ERA Gallery presented her textiles in the exhibition Il corpo dell’anima, with Martín Soto Climent and Carlo Bugatti.
