Alexander Calder Les Vers Noirs
There are abstract patterns of primary colors, usual for the artist, as well as a white background that frees up a wide empty page. The title “Les Vers Noir”, or in English, “Black Worms” refers to the thin black shapes that weave through each circle, breaking up the composition while at the same time leading the viewer’s gaze to each uniquely woven patch of color.

Alexander Calder Waves
Alexander Calder’s radical contribution to art history were his three-dimensional drawings in space. Here his poetic ability to depict movement is rendered on a hand woven wool tapestry created at the world famous studios in Aubusson, France.
This is one of a series of six tapestries Calder created to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the American Revolution. The tapestries were hand woven by Pinton Freres in Aubusson, France.
Approximately only around 37 examples in the edition of 200 were actually produced.

Georges Braque Pelias and Neleus
“Pelias and Neleus” from 1958 is a significant work by Braque that was adapted into various forms of art, including ceramic, mosaic, jewelry, and stamps. This piece showcases the lyrical and synthetic style characteristic of the artist’s final works. The use of diverse techniques emphasizes the relief effect within the composition, enhancing its visual impact and depth.

Andy Warhol Flowers
Throughout art history, the flower and its symbolism have been a subject matter for many renowned artists. Andy Warhol explored the qualities of the flower image through his Pop Art prism in the Flower series of 1964, thus creating cartoon-like symbols that would be instantly recognized.
The 1964 Flower series became one of his most iconic and successful works. Based on a discovered photograph of hibiscus blossoms, Warhol drenched the flowers’ floppy shapes with a variation of vibrant colors, transforming them into psychedelic indoor décor. Playing with traditional art historical themes, Andy Warhol gave a particular twist to this historically accepted symbol of life. The electric colors of his flowers, drawn from a darker and rich undergrowth background might be the indicator of an extreme vision of life, a life lived on the edge.

Tom Wesselmann Nude Banner
In 1961, Tom Wesselmann began his most famous body of work, Great American Nude series which incorporated patriotic symbols with the great art historical image of the nude.
The series "Nude Banner," produced in the late 60's, was originally commissioned to be a set of 20 felt tapestries. After the first one came out of production, he felt it best to turn to vinyl, leaving us with an Artist's Proof edition of this felt tapestry.
