In our Sister City of Trier

People throughout the world traveled to Trier to see the Holy Robe, which is said to have been worn by Jesus on the way to His crucifixion. Christ’s Seamless Tunic is Trier Cathedral’s best-known treasure. Normally kept covered and protected from light, it is only rarely on open display – that is, during the Holy Robe Pilgrimages. In the last hundred years, this has taken place three times: in 1933, 1959 and 1996. Learn more about the Pilgrimage of the Holy Robe Local artist and Fort Worth Sister Cities member Nancy Lamb was invited by the Bishop’s Museum of Trier in cooperation with the Fort Worth Gesellschaft of Trier to attend this event, viewing the exhibition from her own perspective and cultural background. She and other artists from around the globe reflected on their experiences through their craft and will exhibit as part of a review-exhibition, themed “Bring Together what is Divided,” at the Bishop’s Museum in 2013. Nancy Lamb (American, born 1956) is a sculptor and painter of great versatility who blends aspects of perspective, wit and sophistication to create diverse forms of art which never fail to delight and challenge.  The unusual angles and spontaneous, unposed quality of her photos are used to create popular slice-of-life oil paintings, “Social Spaces.” While best known for this series, she has engaged a variety of media since the 1970s, including two 200-foot terrazzo floors at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and murals for 8.0 Restaurant and the Women’s Center in Fort Worth. Lamb is represented by Artspace 111 and has received an Artist Award in 2010 at Preservation is the Art of the City.
