STRUCTURES BAOBAB COLLECTION TSINGY OYSTER 9198
Starting at: €286,00€200,20
Madison Avenue runs between Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Since the Twenties, it hasbeen the centre of the American advertising industry. The Mad-ison Men were the golden boys of the Sixties, who “dreamed up” the images of the iconic brands of the USA. Inspired by this theme, De Poortere haw created a new collection of “Vintage Sixties” rugs. A mix of straight and broken lines, of dull and shining yarns, of smooth and ragged pencil strokes.
Here we find an indication of pain and disorder, of the rifts and big changes like Women’s Lib, Vietnam, The black Panthers, and May 68 but also of the creative energy of action painting in the late sixties.
