La nuit (the night)
Tapestry woven by Claire Rado’s workshop.
With signed label.
Circa 1965.
In 1964 Claire Rado designed and wove in her workshop in Suresnes, her very first tapestry which she then exhibited at the Galerie La Demeure. She weaves her own cartoons, but, rather like Daquin or Coffinet for example, also produces the work of others (Soulages notably as far as Rado is concerned). Her first abstract works were followed by monumental woven figures around which she left the warp bare.
A tapestry dating from the artist’s early work, where the subject is chosen and dealt with to contribute to her technical skills.
