The night
Tapestry woven by Claire Rado's workshop.
With its ribbon signed by the artist.
Circa 1965.
Claire Rado designs and weaves in 1964, in her workshop in Suresnes, her first tapestry, which she then exhibits at the Galerie La Demeure. She weaves her own cartoons, but, like Daquin or Coffinet for example, also transposes the works of others (Soulages in particular, concerning Claire Rado). Her first abstract tapestries will be followed by monumental woven figures while the chain, around, is left apparent.
Tapestry from the artist's early days, where the design is at the service of her technical mastery.
