Lot 19
λ Hans Hartung (German-French, 1904-1989), The Nazareth Tapestry, circa 1965, a woollen wall handing, signed in the field, labelled, 220cm x 165cm Provenance: previously sold at CRN Auctions, 19 May 2013, lot 189; Lamberty Art & Design, selected items from the storages.Hans Hartung was born in Leipzig, and studied at the art academy of his home city, and later at the academy of Dresden. After serving in the French Foreign Legion (and losing one of his legs) during the Second World War he settled in Paris, where he spent most of his career. Hartung is considered a seminal figure in the Art Informel movement, alongside Karel Appel and Jean Dubuffet, who sought to move abstraction away from regulated forms and processes. Known for his varied methods, including applying paint with unusual tools such as rakes and branches, Hartung embraced the unexpected. The present lot, with its gestural, almost calligraphic strokes, showcases Hartung's longstanding interest in irrationality, spontaneity, and irregular form. Hartung's works have been exhibited at the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum, New York, the Musée national d'art Moderne, Paris, and Tate, London among others. A similar tapestry was sold at Tajan, Post War and Contemporary Art, 24 May 2007, lot 55 λ Indicates that this lot may be subject to Droit de Suite royalty charges.
