Suzani and Suzani Collectors, the Erber Collection

A talk by Markus Voigt

​The Markus Voigt is joint author with Christian Erber and Penny Oakley of Suzani: Art of the Silk Road due to be published by Hali. He will touch on the unanswered question about suzanis’ age, speak about Penny Oakley's latest research into the links to India, and talk about the Erber Collection, the history of suzanis in the west, and their trade in the past and now.

Markus Voigt has been involved in the textile arts for the last 30 years in various forms. His interest started with Caucasian carpets, moved to Anatolian kilims, jumped to Central Asian ikats and suzanis and by now covers most European and Asian textiles. He has given talks at ACOR, ICOC, SOAS, various Museums and Textiles societies, writes for HALI, deals in textiles for sustenance and dabbles as an amateur scholar.
