1960s "Les Nuits Et Les Jours" Tapestry by Emile Gilioli

About the Item

Emile Gilioli Les nuits et les jours 1969 Tapisserie de lice Manufacture Nationale de Beauvais Signature : en bas à gauche MBN / en bas à droite Gilioli Les tapisseries de Gilioli se situent dans cette recherche de l’absolu, de la pureté, de la spiritualité qui marque toute son oeuvre.  « D’abord j’aime la laine, sa chaleur. Elle est amicale, chaude, vivante (...) Dans la tapisserie, je peux utiliser la couleur et le graphisme. Il y a deux tendances chez moi : tantôt c’est le graphisme qui domine, tantôt c’est la forme, le plan. Dans la tapisserie, je peux utiliser tour à tour ces deux dispositions. Il m’est arrivé d’aller de la sculpture à la tapisserie, et d’autres fois, c’est la tapisserie qui m’a renvoyé à la sculpture ». Emile Gilioli, La sculpture. Le motif géométrique répété dans cette oeuvre est basé sur une de ses plus célèbres sculptures, L’Homme de la paix, érigé en Suède à Jonkoping en hommage à Dag Hammarskjöld secrétaire général de l'ONU et prix nobel de la paix. Par cette forme, Gilioli souhaitait évoquer ses deux traits de caractère : l'équilibre et l'énergie.

  • Omaggio a Lucio Fontana Mirror by Dino Gavina, 1990s
    By Dino Gavina
    Located in Paris, FR
    Dino Gavina "Omaggio a Lucio Fontana" mirror. From a sketch by Lucio Fontana, 1964. Polished mirrored steel, equidistant mechanical piercings. Dino Gavina (1922 – 2007) was an Italian entrepreneur, designer and publisher. He is one of the most important entrepreneurial figures in the Italian furniture and design sector. Founder of the companies Gavina Spa, Flos and Simon at a time when design was just being born, his history as an industrialist will deeply influence Italian design, revolutionizing the field of furtniture and lighting. Gavina was the first to work with young architects like the Castiglioni brothers, Tobia Scarpa, Bellini, and Vico Magistretti. He was also responsible for the revival of Marcel Breuer’s Bauhaus movement. He was also one of the first to understand the great importance of the store front, enlisting Carlo Scarpa to design the first Gavina store on the via Altabella in the heart of Bologna, Italy. Later, in various other cities, he organized events and exhibitions in collaboration with artists such as Meret Oppenheim, Man Ray, Sebastian Matta, René Magritte, Jackson Pollock, Marcel Duchamp and Lucio Fontana. It was with Fontana in particular that Gavina felt a deep connection, and this would be one of the most important professional relationships of his career. Their first encounter in 1954 marks the beginning of a great friendship that would last a lifetime. Over the course of more than a decade, Gavina would direct Fontana to the greatest architects in Milan for the design of their products. In 1964, following the “Lamiere” exhibition (Metal Sheets) at the Gavina shop in Milan, Dino Gavina gave Lucio Fontana the IDEA to create a large metal plated...
