Zeki Muren 1970s orange-colored rug with futurist abstract decorative motifs

About the Item

Although Müren was best known for his music, extravagant costumes, and women's makeup, very few people know that he was also a talented textile designer, and the carpets made from his designs in the 1960s and 1970s are now being greatly reevaluated by admirers and collectors. Some have jewel-like geometric patterns, others feature bold abstract shapes in 1970s colors. Most Zeki Müren carpets were made in Isparta, southwest Turkey, but some were also made in a town called Demirci near Manisa, which wove a softer weave than Isparta. This one we present is emblematic of 1970s taste, with abstract designs and bright colors. LITERATURE: NO. 198 HALI WINTER 2008
