"Zebra Tapestry", artist proof hand woven maguey fiber tapestry marked "AP-10" lower left and signed "AC" lower right, small stain along the lower middle edge / in as-found condition. Alexander Calder (1898 - 1976) designed a series of hammocks and tapestry wall hangings to benefit victims of the 1972 earthquake in Managua, Nicaragua. Nicaraguan artisans produced Calder's hammock designs and Guatemalan artisans produced his tapestry designs. All materials were provided to them, and they were paid four times their normal wage. Calder created a total of fourteen tapestry designs which were produced in limited editions of 100. This particular tapestry of Calder's zebra design is marked "AP" rather than part of the series of 100 that were produced.Provenance: The Rhodes-Nadler Collection.Approx. 58" x 96".
