After moving to Sache, France near Aubusson in the early 70′s, Alexander Calder took a strong interest in tapestry leading him to partner directly with Aubusson weavers, particularly Atelier Pinton Frêres, and produce a series of spectacular tapestries. Calder’s deliberately restrictive color palette and his bold, simplified forms were perfectly suited to tapestry revived by Jean Lurçat flourishing in France mid-century.

Sonia Delaunay is widely recognized as one of the greatest translators of a modernist consideration of color and form to the material and texture of tapestry.  Her language of animated, curving compositions of pure color does not pass through Cubism, as most of her contemporaries did, but rather dashes directly toward complete abstraction.  Reflecting her stature in the world of art mid-century, Sonia Delaunay was the first living female artist to have a retrospective exhibition of her work at the Louvre in 1964.

Please join us at the Armory where we will have a selection of our finest antique and modern tapestries on display, including Alexander Calder’s, “IXE”, recently featured as a “must see” in Architectural Digest.
