About the Item
Stéphane COUTURIER (*1957, France)
Reims – Champagne – From Lurçat's point of view, 2023
Tapestry
Sheet 150 x 150 cm (59 x 59 in.)
Unique
Born in 1957 in Neuilly sur Seine, Stéphane Couturier currently lives and works in Paris.
In 1994, Stéphane Couturier showed his first works in a series called 'Urban Archaeology', viewing the city as a living organism with multiple aspects. He photographed it deliberately avoiding anything that suggested poetry, nostalgia or strangeness. From 1999 on, Stéphane Couturier was increasingly drawn to suburbs and began to focus on a different type of landscape: on the one hand, by tackling housing blocks and high-rises in his 'Monuments' series; on the other, by photographing mushrooming housing developments.These generic cities soon became his favorite subject.
– Reims
'In Reims, I was naturally drawn to the unmissable places like the cathedral or the halls of Boulingrin, but I also wanted to explore everyday places in the settlements, like the Croix-Rouge neighbourhood. Because unlike the monument, the housing module creates a rational and utilitarian functionality that is extremely simplified and negates any historicity of the place. I have combined these fragments of modular architecture with other sculptural elements such as those of Imi Knoebel in Reims Cathedral, of Jean Lurçat in his tapestry 'Champagne' or even of Victor Vasarely with his works on urban art, in a form of reconciliation of the arts.' – Stéphane Couturier

Stéphane Couturier
Stéphane Couturier is a French contemporary artist and photographer, born in 1957, in Neuilly Sur Seine, France. He currently lives and works in Paris. In 1994, he showed his first works in a series, called Urban Archaeology, viewing the city as a living organism with multiple aspects. He photographed it deliberately, avoiding anything that suggested poetry, nostalgia or strangeness. From 1999 onwards, Stéphane was increasingly drawn to the suburbs and began to focus on a different type of landscape. On the one hand, by tackling housing blocks and high-rises in his Monuments series and on the other, by photographing mushrooming housing developments. These generic cities soon became his favorite subject. In 2002, the uniformity and repetitiveness of these landscapes around the world drove him to begin working on the concept of the polyptych, the combinations and interchangeability of each of the elements in a polyptych give rise to a play with Landscaping, with the spectator recomposing a landscape between reality and fiction. With a new body of work, called Melting Point, Stéphane changed his visual approach in 2005. This series presents a Toyota assembly plant in Valenciennes, France. It also evolved with new subjects, like the Indian city of Chandigarh, built by Le Corbusier and the Brazilian city of Brasilia, built by Oscar Niemeyer, from 2007–10.

Located in London, GB
Mathieu Matégot (1910-2001)
Oberon
c.1950s
wool tapestry, Manufactura de Tapeçarias de Portalegre; (possibly) no. 2
125 x 202 cm
signed ‘Matégot’ and with the Manufactura de Tapeçarias de Portalegre monogram (lower right); titled, inscribed, numbered and signed (workshop label on the verso)
Price:
$18,000 USD
Provenance:
Barry Friedman Ltd, New York (stock no. BF19387)
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...
