A visual artist based in Bogotá, Colombia, Olga de Amaral (b. 1932) is one of the most recognized names in craft and Latin American art.

Olga de Amaral: To Weave a Rock traces Amaral''s career over five decades, features more than 40 key pieces of work, and examines the artist''s oeuvre through the lens of contemporary and fiber art.
Olga de Amaral: To Weave a Rock celebrates an artist who for decades has gracefully produced across traditional divides: fine art and craft, local and universal, ethereal and material.
