Parvaze and Peter Mayer come together to collaborate on hand-stitched contemporary tapestries. Parvaze, a talented chain-stitch artist from Kashmir, India, showcases the exquisite beauty of this ancient craft through his work. Using worsted yarn of high quality and traditional techniques, Parvaze creates intricate patterns on hessian cloth, employing a hook-type tool known as an aurah. Peter Mayer, an American designer from San Francisco, brings over 30 years of experience in the creative industry. His designs are partly inspired by the time he lived in Bali where a profound appreciation for the intersection of craftsmanship and creative expression was fostered. Parvaze, in collaboration with Peter Mayer, creates pieces that not only pay homage to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship, but also reflect a contemporary reinterpretation of influences from great masters. Each piece exudes a unique blend of Indian culture and modern sensibilities, captivating viewers with its timeless allure. Parvaze and Mayer’s dedication and artistic talent were recently recognized at Art Palm Beach where they received the prestigious DIVERSEartPB Museum Acquisition Award. One of their pieces is now part of the permanent collection of the La Neomudejar Museum in Madrid. Emmanuelle G...

Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001) Castille c.1950s Aubusson tapestry, Pinton Frères; (probably) unique 156 x 120 cm signed ‘Matégot’ and with the Pinton Frères monogram (lower right); titled, inscribed, numbered and signed (workshop label on the verso) Price: $14,000 USD Provenance: Barry Friedman Ltd, New York (stock no. BF11410) Notes: Mathieu Matégot was a Hungarian-born French designer, architect and artist. After studying at Budapest's School of Fine Arts in 1929, Matégot travelled across Italy and the USA until settling in Paris in 1931 where he worked as a set designer, window dresser and tapestry maker. Matégot volunteered for the French resistance at the start of the Second World War, only to be captured by the Nazis. A dreadful fate for most, however, it was during his time as a prisoner of war that the artist discovered metalworking techniques (such as Rigitulle) which he later patented and became renowned for. Upon his release, Matégot was awarded French citizenship. After the war, the artist's interest in tapestry was renewed after being introduced to contemporary tapestry revivalist, Jean Lurçat. However, in order to make ends meet, Matégot pursued furniture design; he established a workshop in Paris and dedicated his time to translating the groundbreaking metal techniques into popular handcrafted objects. In 1959, Matégot abandoned furniture design and focused exclusively on his passion for abstract tapestries. He continued his work as a pioneer of French Modern tapestry...
