"ABSTRACTION III" is a heavy wool tapestry measuring 8' X 6’ (244 cm X 183 cm) from an edition of only 10. This tapestry is in like new condition. Pictured is another piece from the edition in  the Sonesta Hotel, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Two pictures show the actual piece offered in this listing as it formerly hung in the foyer of our home. Having downsized into a smaller home, we no longer have a place for this gorgeous, high quality piece. Included is a board with Velcro which may be used to hang on a wall with the matching Velcro affixed onto the upper edge of the tapestry providing for efficient, secure hanging.

Note the artist's woven signature on the lower right. Not readily observable is the sculptured effect arising from the differing levels among the colors. 

Using the artist's original design as a model, the weaver re-creates the artist's vision in a different medium. Few weavers possess the skill, sensitivity and enduring patience necessary to create a tapestry with nearly 700,000 hand tied knots, with 20 threads to each knot. Three or four weavers dedicate up to four months to complete such a tapestry. 

This edition sold out more than 30 years ago and this is a rare masterpiece of enduring beauty and value. This tapestry is in like new condition.

Although I have always displayed this magnificent piece on the wall, it could also be used as a spectacular area rug. I was told by Modern Master Tapestries, the firm that commissioned it, that it could be walked on for 100 years and wouldn’t wear out, or probably even show much wear, due to the density of the weave.

Note the picture of Robert Goodnough. Reasonable offers will be considered.
