Paul Klee Artist Rug

Size: 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 8 in (1.98 m x 1.42 m)

Provenance: Property of New York City estate

A colorful mid-20th century Scandinavian art rug by Paul Klee, made in the Netherlands, this vibrant piece brings the Bauhaus master's unmistakable visual language into the realm of decorative textile. Bold black lines — heavy, expressive, and weighted — trace abstract faces from simple stick-figure forms, while the warm color palette fills the composition with a cozy, inviting energy characteristic of Klee's work. A representative example of the playful, whimsical quality that distinguished Klee's output, and a piece that speaks directly to the history of modern and postmodern artistic movements.
