Tibor Reich, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester

A new retrospective at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, celebrates the centenary of Tibor Reich, a pioneering post-war textile designer, who brought modernity into British textiles. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1916, Reich studied architecture and textiles in Vienna before moving to Britain in 1937. In 1946 he set up Tibor Ltd, introducing bright new colours and textures into the drab interiors of post-war Britain. The exhibition explores the ideas behind his innovative textiles, photography, ceramics and drawings.
