About the Item
Agda Österberg Large Flat-Weave Rug No. 210 Signed "AÖ" Sweden 1961 - 300x210cm
This large and unique original piece of textile art by Agda Osterberg was commissioned by the Peterson Family in 1961. See original rendering image of original design painting. It is a rare and breathtaking example of a master Swedish textile artist and a highly collectible piece.
Agda Elisabeth Österberg (1891–1987) was a Swedish textile artist who was a prominent figure in the production of religious textiles.
Österberg occupies a unique place among Swedish mid-century weavers. Although she was of the same generation as Barbro Nilsson, born at the very end of the 19th century, she lived to be nearly 100 years old and continued to produce work over a period of some 50+ years.
Her designs seem to draw almost equally on repetitive patterns, mannerist architecture and primitive motifs. It is fascinating that this fearlessly colorful, and constantly inventive artist found her career designing rugs and woven textiles for churches. At times she seems to express a fascination with art deco stepped pyramids and ziggurat shapes. Despite their rigid geometry, these images wobble and shift as though seen through the cubist multi-perspective lens, but always working with basic shapes and strong colors, she manipulates and reflects forms in an alluringly individualistic way. Once you have seen several of her rugs, her style is unmistakable
