Description
This vibrant tapestry,
"Butterfly,
" is a striking work by Alexander Calder, masterfully
woven by Atelier Pinton. The piece is a perfect example of Calder
'
s distinctive style,
featuring a bold, abstract composition on a neutral background, unified by a single,
dynamic black line that throws through the entire piece. This tapestry is particularly
notable as it was the inspiration for a rare 1972 fine art lithograph print. Published by
The Honkin Gallery Inc. for the "Alexander Calder: Aubusson Tapestries" exhibition, this unnumbered limited edition print highlights the work's importance within Calder's collection. The creation of a lithograph from the tapestry showcases how Calder's designs were celebrated across different mediums, confirming the enduring power of his unique artistic language. - More Information
