Enzo Mari Wall Hanging Quilted Tapestry Arazzo Canova Adone e Venere, 1999, Italy- Dimensions 102" x 59" x 1" This large wall hanging designed by Mari was produced in 1999 and is no longer in production. The image is produced by screen-printing onto a quilted cotton fabric. It's depicting an interpretation of the famous statue Adone e Venere (Adonis & Venus) by Antonio Canova executed between 1789-1794 in white marble and located in Geneva, Musée d’art et d’histoire. The piece comes with a hanging bracket that slots through loops in the back allowing the work to be easily installed. It's in good original condition, showing 3 imperfections in the upper part that have been repaired. Enzo Mari is one of the masters of modernist Italian design – his work spanning several mediums: furniture, painting, graphic design and installations. All of his work is tightly bound by a playful exploration of the ideologies of the worker's movement and the Arts & Craft movement.
