Gontcharova10-1/4 x 6-5/8 inches (26.0 x 16.8 cm) PROVENANCE:Selected Artists Galleries, New York (label verso).According to Dr. Anthony Parton of Durham University, who is writing a catalogue raisonné on the artist, this work was likely executed between 1925-1935 for a carpet design (the date of 1912 was probably added later) for the Maison Myrbor in Paris, operated by Marie Cuttoli.This excerpt was taken from the Textile Society of America Website:  Marie Cuttoli: Patron of Modern Textiles, by Virginia Gardner TroyMarie Cuttoli (1879-1973) was an editor, collector, proprietor of her boutique Myrbor, and patron of the arts par excellence from the 1920s through the 1950s. She contributed to modernist developments in cross-cultural discourses in textiles through her work with Algerian textile artisans who produced finely crafted embroidered and woven work based on designs by European modernists such as Natalia Goncharova. These works were subsequently sold at Cuttoli's Parisian boutique, Myrbor, primarily during the 1920s. During the 1930s and after, she played an essential role in reviving the rich pictorial tapestry tradition in France though her innovative and collaborative work with modern artists - such as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Jean Lurçat, and Le Corbusier - and skilled Aubusson weavers. She played a particularly important role in inspiring the artist Jean Lurçat to devote most of his long career to tapestry; their collaborations in the 1920s led both of them to envision modern tapestry in completely new ways.Cuttoli's contribution to modern art has been sadly neglected. Her collection of tapestries was received with great acclaim in Europe and American in the late 1930s, but after that the art of pictorial tapestry and the work of Marie Cuttoli seem to have taken a backseat to other developments in modern art, particularly those involving Abstract Expressionist painting. This paper will provide a much-needed summary of Cuttoli's work, and will present a fully researched compilation of the objects d'art, carpets, fashion, and tapestries that she supported. Attention will be paid to her instigation of new visual forms, techniques, venues and interior design through the textile media and how her ideas shaped the ideas of her artistic collaborators.Condition Report: Some rippling to the paper.  Handling creases at the lower left corner and across the top.  Overall in good condition.  Not examined outside frame.Alternate Artist Spellings: "Goncarova, Natalija Sergeevna", "Goncharova, Natalia", "Goncharova, Nataliia Sergeevna", "Goncharova, Natalija Sergeevna", "Goncharova, Natal'ya", "Goncharova, Natal'ya Sergeyevna", "Gontcharova, Nathalie", "Natalia Goncharova"Shipping: Requires 3rd Party Shipping (view shipping information)Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids.
