The Met Store Scarves & Wraps*Daisy Garden Marbled Paper Oblong Silk Scarf

Gift her an art-inspired floral scarf. The centuries-old practice of marbling paper yields astounding patterns awash in color. While techniques vary between cultures, marbling typically refers to a method of transferring pigments from the surface of a water bath onto a piece of paper. This tradition is carried forth by the contemporary artists represented in The Paper Legacy Project, an initiative spearheaded by the Museum’s Thomas J. Watson Library to preserve and promote the “Golden Age” of American decorated paper. Featured on our stylish silk scarf, Daisy Garden (ca. 2015) is a modern-day marbled motif by Taiwanese Canadian artist Robert Wu. Click here to learn more about the artwork that inspired this item.
