LEONARDO NIERMAN – UNTITLED TAPESTRY ⚜ Wool tapestry ⚜ Signed in the weaving lower right ⚜ Weaver: Gobelinos Riedl ⚜ Features original hanging loops ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST TAPESTRY BY LEONARDO NIERMAN This monumental wool tapestry by Leonardo Nierman showcases his signature fusion of fluid, flame-like movement and vivid color, blending lyrical abstraction with a cosmic energy that echoes his best-known painted works. Executed circa 1970, the tapestry was woven by Fritz Riedl’s prestigious Gobelinos Riedl workshop in Mexico—a studio renowned for producing tapestry editions for leading modern artists. Nierman’s collaboration with Gobelinos Riedl reflects the global appeal of his work and situates this piece within an important chapter of 20th-century textile art. The composition’s fiery palette of scarlet, ochre, and cerulean conjures the elemental energy of nature, a central theme throughout Nierman’s career.

Often compared to artists like Yves Klein and Paul Jenkins, Nierman’s works reflect a unique synthesis of lyrical abstraction, scientific precision, and expressive movement. His bold color fields and flame-like forms have earned him recognition as one of Mexico’s most influential modern artists. Initially pursuing studies in physics and mathematics at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Nierman’s scientific background profoundly shaped his artistic vision, leading to compositions that explore energy, harmony, and cosmic rhythm. He later trained at Mexico’s Escuela de Artes Plásticas and drew early inspiration from Mexican modernists such as Rufino Tamayo and David Alfaro Siqueiros. His innovative approach to abstraction has influenced a new generation of Latin American artists working across painting, sculpture, and textile arts. Nierman’s work is held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Vatican Museums, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City. His public commissions appear globally, from the Kennedy Space Center to cultural landmarks in Israel, Italy, and Japan. As a mentor and collaborator, Nierman’s artistic legacy extends beyond his own studio, inspiring artists, designers, and collectors drawn to the intersection of art, science, and the natural world. ABOUT THE WEAVER: Fritz Riedl (1923–2012) was an Austrian artist and master weaver who played a pivotal role in the mid-century tapestry renaissance. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Riedl founded Gobelinos Riedl in Guadalajara in 1968—a studio specializing in Gobelin-style handwoven tapestries. Riedl’s atelier produced editions for prominent artists such as Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Mathias Goeritz, Pedro Coronel, and Leonardo Nierman. Riedl’s studio became renowned for fusing European weaving traditions with Mexico’s vibrant modernist movement, producing over 35 Hundertwasser tapestries alone. The studio's reputation for quality craftsmanship and artistic innovation continues through the Taller Gobelinos Mexicanos, operated by members of the Morquecho family, many of whom originally trained under Riedl.
