Automne

Automne is an exceptional handwoven Aubusson tapestry by Sonia Delaunay, one of the pioneers of modern abstraction and one of the twentieth century’s most influential textile artists. Woven around 1970 by the renowned Atelier Pinton in Aubusson, the composition embodies Delaunay’s groundbreaking theory of simultaneous color contrasts, where vibrant concentric circles and intersecting geometric forms generate rhythm, movement, and visual harmony.

This rare example is an artist’s proof (EXA), signed by both the artist and the master weaver, making it particularly significant for collectors. Produced within the prestigious Aubusson weaving tradition, the tapestry demonstrates the remarkable dialogue between avant-garde artistic innovation and centuries of French textile craftsmanship. Its luminous palette and architectural scale allow the work to transform interior spaces while preserving the artistic integrity of Delaunay’s original composition.

Presented in excellent condition, Automne is a museum-quality tapestry that stands among the finest textile interpretations of Sonia Delaunay’s work. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire an important example of modern woven art, where painting, design, and craftsmanship converge in one of the defining achievements of twentieth-century textile history.
