Florence Temko

Florence Temko (born 1921), a pioneer in spreading origami in the United States, is the most prolific author on this subject. With fifty-five books to her credit on paper arts and folk crafts, she has been a strong influence on interesting beginners in the art of paperfolding. Some of them later developed complex origami designs previously unimaginable and applied their expertise into advanced innovations in the fields of art and science. [Van Skicklen, Margaret. (2005) The joy of origami. Workman Publishing, New York. ]

Her involvement as a consultant to the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, California, resulted in the mounting of the “Masterworks of Origami” exhibition there in 2003. Other museums in the United States and other countries subsequently recognized origami as an art form and set up their own exhibitions. [Mingei International. (2003) Origami masterworks: Innovative forms in the art of paperfolding. Mingei International Museum. San Diego, CA. ]
