About the Item

Fabulous and important. This rug by Chicago Fabric designer Angelo Testa (the first graduate of Moholy Nagy's continuation of The Bauhaus in the US: The Institute of Design) is atypical of Testa's work, but more typical of the "Bauhaus" style of his teacher: Lazlo Moholy-Nagy. Ref: "Decorative Art 50: The Studio Year Book 1960-1961" Davis page 69. Provenance: The Estate of Angelo Testa and the Estate of Alan Moss.
