Graham Knuttel — Couple (Aubusson Tapestry, Edition 1/6)
Contemporary Irish Tapestry
Condition
Excellent — signed Knuttel and numbered 1/6 in the weave
A signature Graham Knuttel composition rendered as an Aubusson tapestry — number ONE of an edition of just six. Hand-woven in the celebrated Aubusson workshops of central France from a Knuttel cartoon, the piece pulls together everything the late Irish painter (1954–2023) was loved for: the noir-tinged Mediterranean street, the moonlit sky, the strutting moustachioed gentleman in scarlet, his glamorous companion in cobalt and polka dots. Knuttel's bold pop-cubist style translated into the slow, deliberate craft of Aubusson weaving — a piece that lives equally well in a private salon or a gallery wall. Signed 'Knuttel' in the weave, numbered 1/6. 177 × 109 cm.
