On the Design:

This André Borderie original is exemplary of the artist’s bold exploration of modernist abstraction, a hallmark of his transformative influence on 20th-century tapestry.The design employs a fragmented architectural structure with vertical rectangular forms arranged in a cathedral-like central formation against an ochre background. The colorway demonstrates modernist restraint—predominantly employing black, white, ochre, and strategic coral-red accents that create visual punctuation within the composition. Vertical elements create a sense of upward movement while horizontal intersections establish rhythmic counterpoint. The interplay between positive and negative space creates perceptual ambiguity, with black elements simultaneously reading as voids and solid forms depending on viewpoint. It’s a masterpiece with striking detail for its construction, with a fabulous sense of architectural presence and contemporary energy for any space—a true collector’s piece to be treasured.

Condition:

This vintage tapestry further enjoys great condition for its age and origin—an extremely collectible work. Ideally for exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications. See less
