About the Item

-Manhattan by Mathieu Matégot -From an edition of 6 -Manufactured by Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture -Provenance: Private French collection -Manhattan is an early and compelling tapestry by Mathieu Matégot, woven in 1955 by the esteemed Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture. Created at a pivotal moment in the artist’s transition toward textile as a primary medium, the work reflects Matégot’s evolving interest in abstraction, structure, and the translation of modern environments into woven form. The composition presents a stylized interpretation of an urban skyline, evoking the vertical density and architectural rhythm of Manhattan. Rather than depicting the city with precision, Matégot distills it into a network of fragmented lines and tonal blocks. Against a deep blue ground, the skyline emerges in layered shades of rust, brown, and muted grey, suggesting both industrial materiality and atmospheric depth.
