Limited edition of 20 Textile Arts Excellent Condition Knotted signature ‘Picasso’ on the recto; embroidered inscription ‘Picasso ©’on the verso Accompanied by Certificate of authenticity This linear rendering of a kissing couple using only few colors is a great example of Picasso involvement with the Surrealist movement.

Executed in an edition of 20 with 3 HC in 1979-80 by Marigold Enterprises Ltd, this tapestry explores a theme, embracing lovers and kiss, that occupied Pablo Picasso during his life.

  • Flowers, (After) Andy Warhol -Pop Art, Tapestry, Edition, Contemporary, Design
    By Andy Warhol
    Located in Zug, CH
    (After) Andy Warhol Flowers, 1968 Hand Woven Wool Tapestry 183 x 183 cm (72 x 72 in) Edition of 20 With the knotted name ‘ANDY WARHOL’ lower right and the embroidered annotation ‘WARHOL ©’ on the reverse Published by Modern Master Tapestries, NY Throughout art history, the flower and its symbolism have been a subject matter for many renowned artists. Andy Warhol explored the qualities of the flower image through his Pop Art prism in the Flower series of 1964, thus creating cartoon-like symbols that would be instantly recognized. The 1964 Flower series became one of his most iconic and successful works. Based on a discovered photograph of hibiscus blossoms, Warhol drenched the flowers’ floppy shapes with a variation of vibrant colors, transforming them into psychedelic indoor décor. Playing with traditional art historical themes, Andy Warhol gave a particular twist to this historically accepted symbol of life. The electric colors of his flowers, drawn from a darker and rich undergrowth background might be the indicator of an extreme vision of life, a life lived on the edge. Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was an American artist, a leading figure of the Pop Art movement. ​Using a variety of media materials from photographs up to computer-generated art, Warhol's works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity, culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. Emerging from the poverty and obscurity of an Eastern European immigrant family in Pittsburgh, Warhol became a charismatic magnet for bohemian New York. In 1960, he began to produce his first canvases depicting Popeye and Dick Tracy. After Marilyn Monroe’s death in August 1962, he started working from snapshots of the star’s already legendary face, which had been widely distributed by the world’s press. His choice of subjects clearly relates to an obsession with demise – his Marilyns, his Ten Lizies (created when the actress Elizabeth Taylor was seriously ill), and also his Elvis. Part of the “Death and Disaster” series, Andy Warhol´s...

  • Silver Marilyn, Andy Warhol, 1990's, Handmade Carpet, Pop Art
    By Andy Warhol
    Located in Zug, CH
    Andy Warhol (after) Silver Marilyn, 1990s Handmade Carpet 150 × 150 cm (59.1 × 59.1 in) Certificate of authenticity on label Edition of 20 In excellent condition Published by Modern Master Tapestries, NY The artwork is offered unframed As a golden legend of Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe held particular fascination for Andy Warhol. Her suicide on August 5, 1962 struck a personal chord and precipitated a commemorative series that isolated her beautiful and henceforth elusive visage against variously colored backdrops. In the increasingly secular 1960s, Warhol was quick to recognize that movie stars had replaced the religious figures of his childhood, as the idols which the population at large chose to worship. Andy Wahrol worked with tapestry in his life as works were presented by Charles Slatkin...
