'River of Ponds' Wool Tapestry Rug by Frank Stella, 1970
By Frank Stella
Located in Milan, IT
Frank Stella is one of the leading figures of the Minimalist movement. Initially influenced by the Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, towards the late fifties he moves to New York where he abandons the Expressionist quest for color in favour of flat and Minimalist surfaces, following the work of Barnett Newman and Jasper Johns. He soon inaugurated a series of works emphasizing the painting as an object in itself rather than as a representation of something else. Faithful to Minimalist philosophy, the canvas for him is nothing but a flat surface with color yet suggestive of a third dimension.
Towards the early 1960s there was a lot of interest in America in adopting textiles as a medium for artistic expression. In 1962 the World House Galleries in New York organized an exhibition composed of 26 carpets designed by leading Modern Art Masters such as Léger, Mirò and Picasso together with others from the contemporary designer Miriam Leefe. In 1968 the Charles E. Slatkin Galleries in New York opened an exhibition entitled 'American Tapestries', showing the textile artworks of twenty-two Pop Art and Abstract Expressionist artists. These artists were actively involved in the translation of their pictorial language in the textile medium, designing the preparatory cartoons which would then be sent to India for them to be made into weavings. Their interest towards the expressive qualities of three-dimensional flat surfaces found its quintessential expression in the art of the carpet.
This motivated a second exhibition in 1970 entitled 'Modern Master Tapestries', where the term 'tapestry' was applied both to wall hangings as well as floor coverings. The aim of this exhibition was to give a modern configuration to the ancient art of weaving.

Vintage, New and Antique Indian Rugs and Carpets
Today, there are few elements of decor as consistently beautiful as vibrantly colored, intricately patterned antique rugs. The legacy of fine Indian rugs and carpets dates back to the Mughal Empire, with Jalal-ud-Din Akbar in the 16th century establishing workshops for carpet weaving based on Persian practices. Combined with the aesthetics of Indian art, a new rug tradition was born.
In India, these Persian-inspired rugs and carpets were often made with lush materials, including silk, velvet and pashmina, a type of cashmere. It could take laborers as long as 15 years to weave a single carpet. Many of these rugs and carpets were created for royalty and frequently used inside palaces and mosques, particularly on special occasions.
Though the carpet weaving stemmed from a Persian tradition, Indian rugs and carpets featured designs that predated Persian influences. These complex patterns included floral, geometric, and animal motifs.
Indian rugs remain among the most coveted decorative items today. Browse 1stDibs for a wide variety of vintage, new and antique Indian rugs and carpets to establish a lavish focal point in any room in your home. See our guide to caring for your antique and vintage rugs, and read about how to choose the right area rug for your space.
