*THOMAS DELLERT DELACROIX (Swedish, b.1953) DEATH OF TROTSKY Carpet, woven in China, woven signature 'T Dellert 83', 1983 size 200 x 138cm Thomas Dellert-Delacroix is a Swedish conceptual artist known for his paintings, short films and ready-made, works, whose prolific practice is both unique and beguiling. Dellert-Delacroix's diverse array of works display a fascination with the history of the twentieth century. This wall hanging is no exception; originating from a series of pieces, focusing on the USSR, Dellert-Delacroix fuses Russian iconography with traditional rug-weaving techniques to create an arresting piece of conceptual art designed to be displayed and admired. Woven in China, at 160 stitches per square inch, this, technique is almost impossible to replicate today. In Dellert-Delacroix's own words, 'being an artist...is to survive the no-man's land where art swings between the cruel madness of reality, and the beauty and serenity of our dreams.'. *Artist's, Resale Right may apply to this lot.
